INTRODUCTION.
TITHEN the Royal Archasological Institute visited Car-
^" lisle in 1859, the late Mr. Hodgson Hinde read a
paper in the historical section, On the Early History of
Cumberland. From it we quote the following :
I have had occasion more than once to point out the inaccuracy,
not to use a harsher term, of the authorities which have hitherto
been reHed on, in tracing the general history of Cumberland. It is
foreign to the design of this essay to enter into local details, or I should
have to expose errors and mistatements at every step : but it may
not be out of place to give a few instances, by way of showing how
much caution is necessary in sifting the received statements of our
Cumbrian topographers. The narrative of the foundation of the
Priory of Lanercost is familiar to us all, repeated as it has been
by one writer after another, and yet the whole story is a fiction.
We are told that that religious house had its origin in the remorse
of Robert de Vaux for the treacherous murder of Gils Beuth, the
former owner of Gilsland, of which his father, Hubert de Vaux,
had obtained a grant from Kanulf de Micenis. Now it happens
that an enrolment of the charter, by which Hubert became pos-
sessed of Gilsland, is preserved amongst the Carta Antiquje in
the Tower, from which it plainly appears that Gils Beuth was
alread)' dead before Hubert had any connection with Gilsland ; and
we further learn as well from the charter, as from the Testa de
Nevil, that the title of the latter was derived from Henry H and not
from Ranulf, whose interest in Cumberland ceased before the close
of the reign of Henry I. A fundamental error of the Chronicon
Cumbrias is the deduction of the titles of all the estates in Cumber-
land from Ranulf de Micenis whereas this is the case with two
only. The bulk of the remainder were granted directly by the Crown
in the reign of Henry I., Gilsland, as we have seen, and two or three
others, by Henry II and the remainder to one individual by Richard I.
Another mistake is the identification of Hugh de Morville, lord of
the barony of Burgh with his more notorious namesake, the mur-
derer of Thomas a Becket. Hugh was a common name in the Mor-
ville family, as appears by various documents in which we meet with
the name of Hugh de Morville, at dates and under circumstances
ii. INTRODUCTION.
which show that it could be neither of the above. Hugh de Morville,
of Burgh, was the grandson of Simon de Morville, who was probably
the brother, and certainly the contemporary, of Becket's assassin.
The former survived to the reign of John ; whereas the latter is stated
by all the biographers of the saint to have died at Jerusalem, whither
he had gone on a pilgrimage in expiation of his offence, and to have
been buried in front of the Temple, within three years of the murder.
He was lord of Westmorland, and of Knaresburgh in Yorkshire, at
the same time that Burgh was possessed by Simon, the grandfather
of his namesake. It would be easy to multiply instances of misstate-
ments, if it were necessary. Many of them originate with the Chroni-
con Cumbrias, but these are amplified and augmented by succeeding
compilers, especially by tico persons of the name of Denton, whose manu-
script collections have been the main source from whence the modern
historians of the county have derived their information as to the early
descent of property, and the genealogy of its possessors. The con-
tents of these storehouses of errors must be discarded by the future
topographer, or used only to compare with more authentic documents.
Hodgson Hinde, Archceological Journal, vol. xvi, pp. 217, 234-5.
Such being the opinion entertained of the two Denton
manuscript histories of Cumberland by an authority so
competent to pronounce as the late Mr. Hodgson Hinde,
the question may well be asked why this Society publishes
one of them. The answer is— that the policy of this Society
is gradually to publish, in its Transactions and its extra
volumes, every unpublished manuscript that relates to the
two counties with which the Society deals, in the hopes
that some day the man will arise, who will amalgamate
the materials thus provided into an ideal county history of
Cumberland and Westmorland. If the question further
be asked, why the manuscript now published is not more
fully supplied with notes: the answer is — that to do so
would be to anticipate, for Cumberland, the ideal history
we have just alluded to, and further that such notes could
not be fully and correctly supplied until the local monastic
chartularies, the pre-Reformation episcopal registers, and
other documents are published, — a task this Society hopes
to accomplish. One thing is certain — the labour of the
future historian or historians of Cumberland will be much

facilitated by the ver}' excellent index, which Mr. R. J.
Whitwell, of Kendal, has with great labour and love
compiled, and for which as well on behalf of the Society
as on my own private and particular behalf, I beg to
tender him the best thanks we can : he has added immen-
sely to the value of this publication.
The two Dentons are John and Thomas : John was of
Cardew, and his burial is thus recorded in the registers of
the parish of Dalston :
1617 November 26 Jhon Denton de Cardew armiger Brd.*
He married a daughter of Sir John Dalston of Dalston
Hall, and is said to have been imprisoned in the Tower of
London, on a quarrel between him and Dr. Robinson,
Bishop of Carlisle. During his imprisonment he made
extracts from the records kept in the Tower, and from
these he compiled his history of Cumberland, of which
several copies, or rather editions, for they all differ, are in
existence : the original copy cannot be found, but by the
list of bishops given in it, as preserved in other copies,
it must have been written about 1610. The following
notes refer to the various editions, which have been used
for the purposes of this present publication.
1. The late Major Fairtlough, of Roodlands, Keswick, possessed a
very early copy of John Denton's Manuscript, which is now in
Canada. The Editor copied this many years ago.
2. The Dean and Chapter of Carlislepossess a folio copy of John Den-
ton's MS. It isbound up in the 6th volume of the Machell collections,
and was made about the year 1670 : on it is written " Transcribing
cost me 5s." This copy belonged to the great local antiquary Thomas
Machell, and came with his other papers to William Nicolson, Bishop
of Carlisle, 1702 to 1726, v\ho has added some notes. Nicolson had
the Machell papers bound in six volumes and placed in the Dean and
Chapter Library, Carlisle.
3. Queen's College, Oxford possesses a folio manuscript volume,
described in Sim's Manual for the Genealogist, Topographer, Antiquary,
&c. as " Collections for a History of Cumberland, by Hugh Todd,
* Transactions Ciimb. and West. Antiq. and Archaso. Society, vol. vii., p. 297.
iv. INTRODUCTION.
D.D., seventeenth cent. Queen's Coll. Oxf. MS. cclxxxii." It is a
folio volume with the press mark 19 on the back. The title page is
as follows. —
An
Imperfect Account of the County of Cumberland.
To the Library of Queen's
College, Oxon.
Hugo Todd, S. Th. P. Coll. Universitatis
Socius, nuper hujus Collegij Alumnus.
The last two lines are in a different handwriting to the first four. It
is an edition of John Denton's manuscript, written in the year 1687, as
internal evidence shows, and no doubt by Todd himself. The lan-
guage in places is decidedly fine, and the sentiments ultra Protestant :
the writer has evidently tender reminiscences of the ale at Swain-
son's house at Calder Bridge and of the hospitality of the squire of
Calder Abbey. It has, I fancy, been written on loose sheets and
afterwards bound : large blank spaces are left between the accounts
of the various manors, and the manuscript seems to have been in-
tended as a skeleton to be filled up at a future time. It is curious
that its date, 1687, should be the same as that of the Scaleb}' or
Gilpin edition.
4. Mrs. Fawcett of Scaleby Hall possesses a small manuscript book,
six inches high, and 3g inches broad. It is bound in vellum and red
velvet : and contains the book plate of William Gilpin of Scaleby
Castle, Recorder of Carlisle, who died in 1724. His autograph ''W.
Gilpin, Aug. 20, 1687," is on the fly leaf. The title is as follows; —
An
Accompt of the most considerable
Estates and Families
in
The Countv of Cumberland,
from the Conquest unto the
beginning of the Reign
of
K. JAMES [the First].
On the back of the title page is this note.
"The originall MS. is supposed to be writ by an ancestor of Mr.
Denton of Cardew during ye time of his imprisonment (as 'tis said)
in ye Tower, upon a contest that hapned to be betwixt him and Dr.
Robinson then Bishop of Carliell. Tis left imperfect in many places
with large blanks, some whereof are filled up with a different hand
and some titles stand without any accompt of them at all : and ye
INTRODUCTION. V.
whole is confused and without order, so that it seems to have been
but a collection of materialls, which he intended afterwards to have
digested into better form."
"This copy is word for word with the originall, there being no
Alteracons but only in the method, the places being here reduced
under their respective Baronies which was the design as it seems of
the Author when he had completed his collection. And from page
346 to the end the Orthography of the MS. is precisely observed.
These tittle additions that are made are marked thus [] ."
The manuscript is very clearly written, in the handwriting of
Recorder Gilpin himself : a gooil margin and the lower half of each
page are left blank for notes, of which there are a good inany. The
manuscript occupies 445 pages, after which comes a list of the judges
of assize at Carlisle at the end of the 17th century, and a very imper-
fect list of the sheriffs for Cumberland from 1204 to 1735. In the
margins and at the end of the volume are some 200 local coats of
arms, roughly tricked : these do not however include any not given
in the usual books.
I have to thank Mrs. Fawcett of Scaleby Castle for her kindness
in entrusting this justly valued relic of Mr. Recorder Gilpin to my care
for several months, while this edition was going through the press.
5. The Society of Antiquaries possess a copy in folio of John Den-
ton's MS. It is titled
"The Antiquitys of Cumberland by Mr. Denton of Cardew,
MS. collated with a copy formerly belonging to William
Nicolson, Ld Ri' of Carlisle."
The list of bishops is brought down to Bishop Lyttelton, President
of the Society of Antiquaries, but his name and that of his predecessor
Osbaldiston are in a different handwriting to that of the rest of the
manuscript thus proving this manuscript to have been written
while Fleming was bishop of Carlisle, 1734 to 1747. I think the
names of Bishops Osbaldiston and Lyttelton have been added, and
the collation with Bishop Nicolson's copy made by Bishop Lyttel-
ton himself, and that he probably gave this copy to the Society
of Antiquaries. It is clear that Bishop Nicolson's copy, with which
the S.A. copy has been collated, is the one now belonging to the
Dean and Chapter of Carlisle.
6. Mr. Browne of Tallentire Hall, Cockermouth, possesses a small
book bound in vellum, the leaves of which are 7 inches by 5^. This
book contains a copy of the John Denton's history of Cumberland,
and a copy of Dr. Todd's history of Carlisle, together with one or
two documents referring to Highhead Castle and the Richmonds, and
VI. INTRODUCTION.
to the rights of the tenants of the Forest of Inglewood. It formerly
belonged, as shewn by his autograph on the first page, to Josiah Relph
the poet curate of Sebergham : and it contains a list of his linen,
made probably on his death in 1743.
7. The Editor possesses a copy of the John Denton's MS., in the
inside of which is written
"John Fawcett from the late Sir. Jos. D. A. Gilpin."
It is a copy from the Scaleby manuscript with the spelling moder-
nised and with footnotes and additions bringing it down to 1749, in
which year internal evidence shows this copy to have been made :
it is in the handwriting of William Milbourne, of Lincoln's Inn and
Armathwaite Castle, Cumberland, as proved by a comparison with
his handwriting in certain Elzevirs bearing his book plates, auto-
graph and notes, in possession of the editor: he is known to have
edited, in manuscript, a copy of the John Denton manuscript (see
Lysons' Cumberland, p. 20). The following note is on the fly leaf.
"The original MS. is supposed to have been writ by one Mr.
Denton of the family of Cardew, during his imprisonment in the
Tower (as it is said), upon a contest that happened between him and
Dr. Robinson, then Bishop of Carlisle, and is brought down by Mr.
Denton to the year 1610."
"William Gilpin, Esq., of Scaleby Castle (from whose copy this
was taken), says that the original is left imperfect in many places
with large blanks and the whole confused and without order, so that
it seemed to have been only a collection of materials, which he in-
tended afterwards to have disposed into better form."
" Mr. Gilpin first undertook to place the several greater baronies
in order, and to reduce the places under their several baronies. He
has likewise made some usefull additions and annotations, and con-
tinued the pedigrees of several families down to the year 16S7. And
among many copies I have seen his is mucli the best."
The manuscript is titled
" An Account
Of the most considerable Estates
and Families
in the County of Cumberland,
since the Conquest till the year 1610."
Mr. Milbourne has added an appendix containing a collection of deeds
charters, &c.
For the purposes of this publication, the Editor has
relied upon Nos. 4 and 7, which are cited in the footnotes
INTRODUCTION. Vll.
as the Gilpin or Scaleby MS. and tlie Milbourne MS.
respectively : footnotes signed Gilpin are in both MSS.
and are by Recorder Gilpin : those signed Milbourne are
in the later MS. only, and are additions by Recorder
Milbourne. The transcribers of Nos. 5 and 6, have not
known of the existence of the Gilpin or Scaleby MS. and
have adhered to the arrangement of the older manuscripts.
Of the Thomas Denton MS. history of Cumberland, no
copy is known to exist, unless one be in the muniment
room in Lowther Castle : Messrs. Lysons in their history
of Cumberland, p. 2, positively state that it was lent to them,
by the Earl of Lonsdale. They state that it was " written
in the years 1687 and 1688 by Thomas Denton Esq.,
barrister-at-law, recorder of Carlisle, and lord of the
manor of Warnell Hall in Sebergham." But in those
years John Aglionby was recorder of Carlisle, and William
Gilpin deputy recorder,* and in 1687 Mr. Deputy Recorder
William Gilpin rearranged John Denton's MS. history of
Cumberland and produced No. 4, the Gilpin or Scaleby
Denton MS. Thomas Denton had been recorder of Car-
lisle prior to Aglionby, but had retired in 1679. t Thomas
Denton died in 1695 ; his portrait and that of his wife
Letitia Vachell are in the Town Hall at Carlisle. The
precise account given by Messrs. Lysons of the MS. history
of Cumberland, which they attribute to Thomas Denton,
forbids the conjecture that they have accidentally substi-
tuted Mr. Recorder Denton for Mr. Recorder Aglionby, but
it is a curious coincidence that in 1687, Mr. Ex-Recorder
Denton, and Mr. Deputy Recorder Aglionby, and Dr. Todd
{ante No. 3), should have all compiled histories of Cum-
berland based on that of John Denton.

An Account
OF THE MOST CONSIDERABLE ESTATES
AND FAMILIES
In the County of Cumberland, since the Conquest
TILL THE year i6io.
'^I^HAT country or county now called Cumberland is on
*^ the east of the same divided from Fourness, a part of
Lancaster, by the river of Dudden (which falleth into the
Irish ocean at Milium Castle), ascending by the banks of
the river up to Uffay or Woolfhay Park to Blackball, and
so to the Shire Stones upon the mountain Wrynose at the
head of Dudden where it first meeteth with the county of
Westmorland at Little Langdale in the fells, so, leaving
Great Langdale and Gresmyre on the east, it bordereth
upon the same all the way from Langdale unto Dunnimail
or Dunmail-raise (a great heap of stones at the head of
Wythburne cast together in antient time, either by King
Dunmail sometime King or Lord of that country, as a
mark of the utmost bounder of his kingdom, or by some
other in remembrance of his name, for some memorable
act by him done there or some victory against him). And
from thence on the back side of Helvelon or Hell Belyn
by the head of Glenkrhodden Beck unto the head of Glen-
kwen Beck, and so by Glenkwen Beck unto UUeswater (a
great lake) and thence by the river Aymot, (which runneth
forth of UUeswater at Powley Stank), descending by
Dacre Castle, Penrith, and Carleton, till it be received of
the great river Eden. And thence by Eden unto the foot
2 THE BOUNDERS OF
of Blenkarn Beck.* And thence by the said little Beck it
is severed from Westmorland to where that Beck springs
out of the fells. It joineth again with Westmorland for
the space of five or six miles alongst the mountains. Then
meeting with a little corner of Yorkshire, it is bounded
by the same unto the head of the river Tees (which there
divideth Yorkshire from the county Palatine of Durham).
And from thence unto Kelloplaw Hill by the county of
Durham. From Kelloplaw Hill to the head of Alneburne,
it adjoineth to the county of Northumberland, which burn
or little river untill Kirkhaugh (where it is received of the
great river Tine) divides the two counties, which in like
manner on the other side of Tine are kept asunder by
another little rill falling into Tine from the east side of the
mountains in Geltsdale Forest. And from the head of that
little water unto the head of Hartley Burn, and thence along
the north-east side of Geltsdale Forest, and on Burn Tippel
Moor, (a great Heath and Waste), the said two counties of
Cumberland and Northumberland meet again and are not
severed whilstt a little beck called Fowtross part them,
which falling unto the water of Irthing loseth its name,
and then Irthing divides them ascending the same, until it
receive a lesser water named Troutbeck, which in like sort
falls in between them and then they concur again at the
Horsehead, Gelecrag, and Christenbury Crag unto Lamy-
ford, where Cumberland makes a narrow point northward.
There the river Lyddalt on the north side runs down

dundle," not that marked " Blenkarn " : bothbecksarenearthevillag-e of Blenkarn
and might easily be confused. The boundary runs up the Crowdundle to its head :
thence to the head of Tees, and down Tees to the Crookburn Beck (sic in
Ordnance Map), and upthat beck to Killhope Law, (the Kelloplaw Hill of Denton).
Denton is in error in saying that Cumberland meets with a little corner of York-
shire : the two counties do not actually meet. Burn and Nicolson, in their history
ot Cumberland, repeat Denton's error in their text, but show the position of
Yorkshire correctly in their map. The Glenkwen Beck appears on the Ordnance
Map as the Glencoin : in Burn and Nicolson as the Glencune. Editor.

J The Kershope Burn is the boundary from Lamyford, (given on Ordnance Map
as Scotch Knowe), to Kershope Foot, and then, and not till then, Liddell comes in
as described by Denton. Burn and Nicolso7i again follow Denton's error in their
text, but give the boundary correctly in their map. Editor.

between Scotland and Cumberland, until Canonby Holme
where the river Eske entertains it (and beareth* Lyddall
its name) at the mote. Then ascending up Eske towards
Canonby it fetcheth in Kirkanders Holmes and there it is
parted from Scotland by a bank of earth and a ditch, that
reacheth from the side of Eske to Sark (a little Scottish
brook) which falling into Eske, and with Eske so into the
river of Eden aforementioned, are presently together in
one channel carried together to the Irish Sea as the last
bounder between them. From the foot of Eden, Cumber-
land, on the west side all along the coast bending
southwards Hke a bow, is environed by the Irish Sea, until
the foot of the river Dudden, at Milium Castle aforesaid.
Where it is broadest, that is from the Irish Sea on the
west to Kelloplaw Hill, being there extended into a point
on the east, it is between thirty-five and forty miles over,
and from Lamyford in the north to Milium Castle in the
south is scant fifty-five miles in length. t
* The manuscripts both read " beareth Lyddall its name," which probably should
be " bereaveth Lyddall of its name " : the conjoined streams are called Esk. The
boundary runs down Esk a little way, (not up it, as Denton says), and then goes
across to the Sark, by the bank of earth and ditch mentioned by Denton, and
known as "the Scotch Dyke," for which see Burn and Nicolson, vol. i., xvi. vol.

EGREMONT BARONY.
The Barony of King William the Conqueror,* about
Egremont. the latter end of his reign after he had
taken the county of Cumberland from
Gospatrick, to whom he had first given it, and banished
the Saxons, and quieted the rebellions there raised, and
outlawed the inhabitants (the whole north parts from
York northward being in those journeys wasted with fire
and sword), gave the counties of Cumberland and West-
morland to Ranulph or Randolph de Meschines, sisters
son to Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester, and left him men
to maintain to defend the country from all hostility which
might trouble the peace of the same, either by tumult of

Randolph de Meschines being quietly possessed of every
part of Cumberland, presently surveyed the whole country,
and gave all the frontiers bordering on Scotland, on
Northumberland and along the sea coasts, to his friends
and followers, retaining still to himself the middle part
between the east and west mountains, a goodly great forest
full of woods, red and fallow deer, wild swine and all
manner of wild beasts, called the forest of Englewood,
which was sixteen miles long, and ten broad, and lieth
between the rivers Shawk and Eden, extended in length
from Carlisle to Penrith.

land, together with five towns about Cockar, that is to say,
Brigham, Eaglesfield, Dean with Branthwait, Crayksothen
and Clifton, with the hamlets thereof Little Clifton and
Stainburn. This Waldeof was Lord of Allerdale beneath
Darwent. And to Ketell, the son of Eldred, the son of

Egremont. The said Lord William de Meschines
seated himself at Egremont, where he built a castle upon a
sharp topped hill, and there upon called the same Egre —
mont, and all such lands as he or his successors lords of
Kopeland, granted to any knight or freeholder within the
barony of Kopeland they bound the same to be held of that
castle of Egremont, and caused the name of the barony to
be changed from Kopeland, and to be called the barony of
Egremont, which name it retaineth to this day.
This William left no issue at his death but a daughter,
who was married to Robert Romly, of Skipton in Craven,
* Ivo de Tailbois had no other issue, but a daughter Lucia, who married, first,
Roger de Romara, by whom she had an only son William : second, Ranulph de

by whom he had issue, a daughter named Alice, whom the
said Robert Romly gave in marriage to WilHam Romly,
Earl of Murray, in Scotland, the son of Duncan, by which
marriage the said William FitzDuncan, became lord both
of Skipton and Egremont, in the right of his wife being
sole heir of Skipton by her father, and of Egremont by
her mother the Lord Meschines' daughter.
William FitzDuncan had issue by the said Alice, a son
called William, who dyed an infant, and three daughters
co-heirs. The oldest named Sybill or Cicely, was married
to William le Gros, Earl of Aumarle, and had issue only
a daughter, named Hawise, who was married to three
husbands successively, to William de Mandevill Earl of
Essex ; to Baldwain Beton ; and to William de Fortibus,
to whom the said Hawise bore a son called William de
Fortibus, who had issue the third William de Fortibus,
who had issue Aveline an only daughter and heir (who
was married to Edmond Croutchback, King Edw: ist
brother) and dying without any children, the third part of
William FitzDuncan's land (which was Skipton in Craven),
came to the King's hand, and, by King Edward 2nd, was
granted to Robert Clifford in exchange of the Clifford's
lands in the county of Monmouth, whose posterity, now
Earls of Cumberland, enjoy the same.
Annabil the second daughter of William FitzDuncan,
had for her part of the inheritance this barony of Egremont
and took to husband Reginald Lucy,* by whom she had
issue, Richard de Lucy, who had issue, two daughters
Annabel Lucy and Alice Lucy.
Dame Alice Romley, the third daughter and co-heir of
William FitzDuncan was married by King Henry 2nd,
unto Gilbert Pipperd ;t and after by the Queen unto Robert
Courtney, but had no issue of her body ; wherefore her part

of her father's inheritance (which was ye liberty of Cocker-
mouth, Aspatrick, and the barony of Egremont below the
river Darwent), was divided between the Earl of Alber-
marle and Richard de Lucy, her sister's children, and so
continued divided until the eldest sister's issue extinguished
by the death of Avelina aforesaid, daughter to the last
William de Fortibus. After whose death all the Romley's
lands above Darwent and beneath, both the barony of
Egremont and Allerdale, came wholly to the heirs of
Reginald Lucy, and of Annabel Romley his wife, second
daughter to the said William FitzDuncan.
Annabel Lucy (one of the daughters and co-heirs of
Richard de Lucy, son to Reginald de Lucy and Annabel
Romley his wife, the daughter of William FitzDuncan),
for her moiety enjoyed the barony of Egremont, (all saving
Lowes Water) which was more by a twentieth part than
the residue which was enjoyed by her sister Lucy. Anna-
bel was married to Thomas Multon, by whom she had
Lambert de Multon, who had issue Thomas de Multon,
whose son John de Multon, left the barony of Egremont to
his three daughters and heirs, Elizabeth (married to
Haverington, of Haverington), Joan (married to Robert
FitzWalter), and Margaret (who was married to the Lord
Thomas Lucy). At which time this barony was broken
into parts, which from the conquest had continued intire,
except Lowes Water, and the lands between Cockar and
Darwent, and the five towns granted to Waldeof, as afore-
said. But now of late it is reunited by the Earls of
Northumberland, who are Lords thereof, by gift and pur-
chase but not by Discent from any of the co-heirs*

the rest is forest ground, hills, and great mountains, best
fitting for sheep pasture.
Milium Castle, the antient seat and capital mansion of
this manor, is placed at the foot of the river Dudden, and
through length of time threatens ruin. Howbeit the lords
thereof make it still their dwelling place and abode, holding
themselves content, that the old manner of strong building
there, with the goodly demesns and commodities which
both land and sea afford them, and the stately parks full
of huge oaks and timber woods and fallow deer, do better
witness their antient and present greatness and worth,
than the painted vanities of our times do grace our new
upstarts.
This great mannor in the time of King Henry i^* was
given by William Meschines, Lord of Egremont, to -
de Boyvill, father to Godard de Boyvill, (named in antient
evidences Godardus Dapifer) who being of Milium did give
unto the abbot and monks of Fourness a carcucate of land
there with the appurtenances called yet to this day Monk
Force, which Arthur the son of Godard confirmed unto
the abbey, and after him in like sort his son and heir
Henry the son of Arthur, reserving only the harts and
hinds, wild boars and their kinds, and all aieries of hawks.
But whatsoever the Lord of Egremont William Meschines
reserved upon the first grant to the Boyvills, whether
demesn or forest liberties, Dame Cicely Romley, (one of
the co-heirs of William FitzDuncan), Countess of Albe-
marle, to whose purparty this Milium was allotted by
partition, gave and fully confirmed the same to the said
Arthur FitzGodard, and to Henry his son and their heirs
by her charter yet extant, under seal, bounding the same
thus " Dedi et Concessi Henrico filio Arthuri et Heredibus jus
Hereditatis viz : totam terram et totum feodum inter Esk et
Dodden cum pertinentiis &c. ; and Dame Hawise her sole
daughter and heir, then the wife of William de Mande-
vil, advised her husband to confirm it.
10 EGREMONT. — [MILLUm].
And for a recognition of the grant made to the Boyvills,
Arthur and Henry his son by Dame Cicely the Countess,
they paid to King Henry 2nd for a postfine one hundred
pounds and five couple of hounds, the records terming
them decern fugatorcs .
An old tradition makes these Boyvills to have been very
near of kin to the Lords of Egremont, and gives us an
account of the occasion upon which Milium was transferred
to the said Boyvills, which is said to be thus : The baron
of Egremont being taken prisoner beyond the seas by the
infidels, could not be redeemed without a great ransom,
and being for England entered his brother or kinsman for
his surety, promising with all possible speed to send him
money to set him free ; but upon his return home to Egre-
mont, he changed his mind and most unnaturally and
unthankfuUy suffered his brother to lye in prison, in great
duress and extremity untill the hair of his head was grown
to an unusual length, like to a woman's hair. The Pagans
being out of hopes of the ransom, in great rage most
cruelly hanged up their pledge, binding the long hair of his
head to a beam in the prison, and tied his hands so behind
him that he could not reach to the top, where the knot
was fastened, to loose himself. During his imprisonment
the Paynim's daughter became enamoured of him, and
sought all good means for his deliverance but could not
enlarge him ; she understanding of this last cruelty, by
means made to his keeper entered the prison, and taking
her knife to cut the hair, being hastened, she cut the skin
of his head so as with the weight of his body, he rent
away the rest, and fell to the earth half dead ; but she
presently took him up, causing surgeons to attend him
secretly till he recovered his former health, beauty, and
strength, and so entreated her father for him that he set
him at liberty. Then desirous to revenge his brother's
ingratitude he got leave to depart to his country, and took
home with him the hatterell of his hair rent off as afore-
EGREMONT. — [MILLUM.] II
said, and a bugle-horn which he commonly used to carry
about him when he was in England, where he shortly
arrived and coming towards Egremont Castle about noon-
tide of the day, when his brother was at dinner, he blew
his bugle-horn which (says the tradition) his brother the
baron presently acknowledged, and thereby conjectured his
brother's return, and then sending his friends and servants
to learn his brother's mind to him, and how he had
escaped, they brought back the report of all the miserable
torment which he had endured for his unfaithful brother
the baron, which so astonished the baron, (half dead before
with the shameful remembrance of his own disloyalty and
breach of promise) that he abandoned all company and
would not look on his brother, till his just wrath was
pacified by diligent entreaty of their friends, and to be sure
of his brother's future kindness, he gave the lordship of
Milium to him and his heirs for ever. Whereupon the
first lords of Milium gave for their arms the horn and the
hatterell.
But whatever the occasion of the grant was, the Boy-
vills were from the place called de Milium, and have
antiently held the same with great liberties, and had jura
regalia there ; John Huddleston did prescribe thereto in
the twentieth year of King Edw. i^' and was allowed before
Hugh de Cressingham in the pleas of Quo Warranto holden
for the king.

of Milium to the Abbey of St. Marie's of York, to which
Abbey his wife Matilda also gave Anderset, now Agnes
seat.
Arthur de Milium son of Godard third Lord of Milium,
confirmed his father's grants of Monk Force, and of the
parishes to the Abbeys of York and Fourness, and granted
to Fourness the services of Kirksanton in Milium, which
Robert de Boyvill his cousin german then held of him,
and presently after did mortgage the same to the Abbot of
Fourness till he returned from the Holy Land.
Henry the son of Arthur the son of Godard, fourth
Lord of Milium, confirmed his ancestors grants, and en-
feoffed Radulph Corbett and his heirs of the manor of
Brettaby,* with the appurtenances in Milium. He also
gave Raisthwaite in Dunnersdale, to one Orme the son
of Dolphin. And Leakley to Henry FitzWilliam in frank
marriage with his daughter Goynhild Boyvill, with shields
for her cattle, and common of pasture in Croch-beeghe,
which Goynhild afterwards (being a widow) gave to the
Abbey of Holm Cultram. And William de Milium (the son
of Henry de Milium, the son of Arthur de Milium), brother
of the said Goynhild did after confirm the same, and
afterwards John Huddleston and Joan his wife, sole
daughter of Adam de Milium, son and heir of the said
Henry, confirmed Leakley and the liberties aforesaid (so
granted by Goynhild), unto the abbot and convent of Holm
Cultram and his successors.
The said Henry FitzArthur gave other lands in Leakley
(now called Seaton), unto the nuns of Leakley or Seaton,
which of late were granted unto Sir Hugh Askew, Knt.,
when the nunnery was suppressed by Hen. 8*. But
Seaton is now the inheritance of John Pennington gentle-
man.

* I do not find this place in the Ordnance Map, but conjecture that it is repre-

14 EGREMONT. — [MILLUM] .
Arthur to Goynhild his daughter approves the same, for
therein is excepted as follows : " Excepta Terra in LeakUy
quam dedi Sanctis Monialibus servientibus Deo et SandcB
MaricB in Leckleya.^' It takes the name of Seaton from
the sea, for that it stands nigh the same. And the rest of
Leakley or Seaton, formerly given to the Abbey of Holm
Cultram as aforesaid, is now also part of the possessions
of the late nuns of Seaton.
All the residue of the fees of Milium were thus granted
by the Boyvills, Lords of Milium, to their kinsmen or
friends, or with their daughters, or sisters in marriage,
and accordingly by the Huddlestons and their heirs, some
as manners, and some as lesser freeholds, as, namely,
Ulfhay, Thwaits, Dalegarth, and Waybergthwaite, and
some in mortmain, as Leakley and Kirksanton. All which
places gave sirnames to the posterity of the feoffees, as
Thwaits of Thwaits, Wayberthwaite of Waybergthwaite,
and the rest, whereof some do yet remain, and some names
are worn out but antient records do report and remember
them.
Ulfhay. Ulfhay was granted to one Ulff, the son of
Evard, whose posterity enjoyed it till the time of K. Hen.
3'''>. Ulff had issue, Ailfward, and Retell. Ailfward paid to
K. Hen. 2"*^ in the 27th year of his reign, twenty marks for
a fine assessed upon him for an attaint. Retell had diverse
sons, Bennett, William, and Michael. Bennett lived in R.
John's time, and had a son named Alan. But now the
land is reduced to demesne again, and Mr. Huddleston,
the pi'esent Lord of Milium, and diverse of his ancestors
have made there a park enclosed for deer, which yet to
this day is called Uffhay Park.
Thwaites. Thence along down the river of Dudden
stands the manor of Thwaites, between the river and the
mountains, now the antient seat of Joseph Thwaites of
Ulnerigg Esq., and the place being a stony mountainous
country is not everywhere altogether fit for tillage meadow
EGREMONT. — [MILLUM] . I5
and pasture. But in several parts and pieces as they are
marked by nature, differing in form and quality of soil or
otherwise by the inhabitants inclosed from the barren
wastes of the fells, such pieces of land are now and were
of old called Thwaites in most places of the shire, some-
times with addition of their quality, as Brackenthwaite
of fearns, Sivithwaite of rushes, Stonythwaite of stones,
Brenthwaite of its steepness, Brunthwaite of burning
with the sun, Redthwaite of the colour of the soil, Over-
thwaite of higher lying, Moorthwait of the heath, Sourth-
waite of the wet soil, Langthwaite of the form of lying,
Micklethwaite of the quantity, and diverse others.
This manor being an antient fee, holden of the Lord of
Milium, for a dowry was by Ellen the wife of John
Boyvill and Michael de Corney, passed by fine levyed 35
Hen. 3'^<J., of land in Thwaites. And John Huddleston
impleaded William the son of John Thwaites, for 200 acres
of pasture there An. 16 Edw. 1=='.
The gentlemen of this family do bear for their arms a
cross argent fretty gules in a field . . . which seems
to be derived from the Huddleston's coat of whom they
hold the manor of Thwaits.
Whicham. At the west end of Donersdale, near the fell
and foranenst Milium, stands Whitcham* or Wicheham
alias Whittingham which all or the most part thereof was
another fee holden of Milium, and as I take it the place
took the name of one Wyche, the first feoffee of the same.
He lived about the time of K. Hen. i''*. Two of his sons,
William FitzWych and Godfrey, were witnesses to a
mortgage of Kirksanton, in the time of Hen. 2°''. But the
issue general brought their lands into other families about
the time of King Hen. 3'^'^. For then one Radulph de
Bethom had the land, and anno 6 Edw. 1=^' he granted
estovers to John, parson of Whitcham, in his woods there.
* Whitcham belonged to the family of Latus. Sir D. F's MS.
l6 EGREMONT. — [mILLUM] .
And one Robert the son of Radulph de Bethom, warranted
lands in Selcroft and Saterton, in Milium, g Edw. i^'. But
the manors of Selcroft and Whitcham, were in another
family 9 Edw. 2"*^., as appears by a fine thereof levied
between William Corbett and Alicia his wife querentes, and
John de Corney deft.
Whitbeck. Some deal westward under the mountains
stands the church or chapel of Whitbeck, which William
Morthing, Lord of Whitbeck, gave by fine levied to the
prior and convent of Coning-Seai in the 45th year of Hen.
3rd.
These Morthings and Corbets were antiently seated in
Milium. I have seen of their names in writings and
evidences made in the time of K. Hen., or Edw. 2°"^., and
to have been men of good worth and quality there, as
namely one William de Morthing, and John de Morthing,
William Corbet, and Radulph Corbet. Diverse of the
Corbets seated themselves in Scotland, in those famous
wars of K. Edw. i^'., where their posterity do remain to
this day.
BooTLE. Next unto Whitbeck, in the Common High
Street, more toward the west is Butle, where of old stood
a mansion of the Couplands. They bear for arms. Or, a
bend sable, a canton and two barrs gules. I have seen a
register of their descent, namely :
Sir Richard Cowpland, Knt.
Alane Cowpland, son of Sir Richard.
Richard Cowpland, son of Alan, who
died seised of Buile, 26 Edw. i^'.
John Cowpland, son of Richard.
Richard Cowpland, son of John.
They continued in the issue male till the time of K. Rich.
2, and K. Hen. 4, and now their lands are transferred into
other famines.
CoRNEY. The manor of Corney lyes next Butle in
Milium, more toward the north-east under the mountains
EGREMONT. — [MILLUM] . I7
upon the top of lesser hills. Corney is called also Cornhow,
and Corno. Of this place, the posterity of Michael le
Falconer and himself took the sirname of Corney, for they
had a feoffment thereof antiently in the time of K. John,
and K. Hen. 3.
Seaton. And nearer the sea westward is seated the nun-
nery of Seaton, of the endowment of the antient Lords of
Milium confirmed by the barons of the seignory of Egre-
mont to the nuns there : which did remain until by the late
suppression of abbeys it came to the Crown. Hen. 8*
gave the scite and lands there unto his servant Sir Hugh
Askew, and his heirs. This knight descended from one
Thurston de Bosco, who lived in the days of King John,
and had a feoffment from the Lords of Kirksanton of a
place then called the Aikskeugh or Oakwood, and from a
poor estate was raised to great honour and preferment by
his service to K. Hen. S^^ in his house ordinary, and in
the field at the seige of Bullen and wars of France. But
it is now become the lands of the Penningtons.
To John Huddleston who married Johan, the daughter
and heir of Adam de Milium, and was in her right Lord
of Milium, K. Henry the 3rd granted, in the 35th year
of his reign, liberty to keep a fair and market in Milium.
MuLCASTER. The next fee unto Milium, holden im-
mediately of the barony of Egremont, is Mulcaster, seated
on the north side of the seignory of Milium. The manor
is bounded between the river Eske and a little rill or beck
called Mite.* It is in form a long ridge or rising ground of
hills from the foot of Eske, extended along between those
rivers unto the great and vast mountains belonging to
Egremont in Eskdale, Wastdale, and Mitredale. There
are not many under fees belonging to this mannor.
The place is now corruptly named Moncaster, howbeit
* The parish of Muncaster or Mulcaster includes the manor of that name,
which is without Milium, and the manor of Birkby (Brettaby ante, p. 13) which
is within. Editor.
l8 EGREMONT.
the right name is Mulcastre or Meol-castre, of an old
castle there towards the water side near unto Eskmeal,
which was the antient dwelling place of the Penningtons,
and is yet visible in the ruins, they call it the Old Walls ;*
(for their present mansion house is of later erection, made
by some of them), much better and more conveniently set
for state and avoidance of the air, and sharp distempers
from the sea). It was called the Meolcastre or Mulecastre,
from the meal on which it antiently stood, and it is accor-
dingly written Mulecastre and Mealcastre, in all their old
evidences and records. Eskmeal (whereon the antient
castle stood), is a plain low dry ground at the foot of Esk,
between the mountains and the sea, which sort of grounds
lying under the mountains and promontories into or at the
sea, are commonly called mules, or metis, as it were the
entrance or mouth from the sea into a river or such like
place, as this meal of Esk, Kirksanton meil, Cartmeil,
Mealholm, the Mule of Gallowav, and Milium itself, and
many other such like.
The estate is now in the possession of Joseph Penning-
ton Esq., whose ancestors have enjoyed the same ever
since the Conquest, sometimes collaterally but for the
most part lineally descending by their issue male to this
time. They were for the most part knights successively,
and men of great valour in the king's services, on the
borders and marches, and in other expeditions where it
pleased the king to command them. They took their
name from Pennington in Lancashire, and though this
mannor (of Mulcasterl, was always theirs as aforesaid,
yet some have greatly mistaken the same to have been
first the Mulcasters' patrimony and to have come from
them to the Penningtons by marriage or purchase. All

the Mulcasters are descended from one David de Mul-

John's time. He had two sons John and Adam, called
both de Mulcaster, and so their posterity take their sir-
name of the place where their first ancestor David died.*
Ravenglass. Ravenglass, now a village, antiently a
green of ferns, (corruptly called of two Irish words Rainigh
ferns and Glass green), was antiently another fee of Egre-
mont. It stands at the foot of Esk, where, by King John's
grant made to Richard Lucy, then Lord of Egremont, dated
the tenth year of that king's reign, was kept a market and a
fair yearly in right of the haven there by the Lords of
Egremont, as Lords paramount, and the same Richard
Lucy, in the same year, confirmed by fine levied to the
mesne Lords and terrtenants all the land and fee of Raven-
glass, namely to Alan Pennington, WiUiam FitzHugh,
and Roger FitzEdward, to hold the same of the said
William and his heirs, and gave them moreover estovers
to make their fishgarths in the river Esk, which is con-
tinued to this day. The Penningtons have long enjoyed
the mannor and other lands there now adjoyning.
Carleton. Between Mite and the river Irt, at the sea
stands Carleton, and on the other side of Irt, Dregg another
fee of Egremont, now the Penningtons' land. Carleton was
first villa rusticata, a town of husbandry and then called
Karlston, then as now inhabited by Carls {i.e., husbandmen)
but afterwards made a demesne.

Dregg. Dregg on the other side of Irt, had great sort of
oaks in the elder times, and thereof the Scots and inhabi-
tants (at and before the Conquest), called the mannor Dregg
of Derig or Dergh, which is oak in the Scottish or Irish
language. And much old wood beaten down with the wind
from the sea is yet digged up out of the mosses and wet
grounds there, as in diverse other places in the country.
And in Scotland there are several places which got their
names from Derigg, oaks; as Glendergh, and some others in
Cumberland as Dundragh. And in our English, Aikton,
Aikhead, Aikskeugh, &c.
In King Henry 2"^^, time the Estutevilles were possessed
of this mannor. The whole patrimoney descended by a
daughter to the Lord Baldwin Wake, Baron of Liddal,
when Henry 3""^ reigned, of, which Baldwin, William the
son of Thomas de Greystock, and the Lady Adingham in
Fourness, in the tenth year of Ed. i^'., held a knight's fee
between them in Dregg. And in the 29th Ed. 1°'., the
Abbot of Calder, Patrick Culwen, and the Lady Margaret
Multon, held Dregg of John de Graystock, and of John the
son of Robert Harrington, and they over of John Wake.
Irton. a little above Carleton, on the south side of Irt,
stands the mannor and town of Irton and Irtondale, which
are so named of the river Irt. The antient family of the
Irtons took their first sirname of this town and seat of
Irton, which yet continues in their name and blood to this
day. One of their younger sons named Radulph, by his
painful diligence in study and learning became the 8th
Bishop of Carlisle, in the beginning of K. Ed. i". reign.
Above Irton, in the fells and mountains, lies a waste
forest ground full of red deer, which was called the
Wastdale, now Wasdale, the inheritance of the Earl of
Northumberland: and before, the Lucys' lands, being a
parcel of their third part of the Barony of Egremont, which
Thomas Lucy got with his wife Margaret, one of the
daughters and co-heirs of John Multon, last of that name
Baron of Egremont.
EGREMONT. 21
GosFORD. Above Dregg lies the parish manner and town
of Gosford whereof the Gosfords an antient family in those
parts took their sirname. Robert Gosford the last of their
house, left his lands to be divided amongst five co-heirs.
I. Mariotte, the wife of Adam Caddy, eldest daughter and
co-heir of Robert Gosford. 2. Isabel, the wife of Henry
Huscock, his second daughter. 3. Johan, the wife of
John Garth, his third daughter. 4. Ellen, the wife of
William Kirkby, his fourth daughter. And 5. John Mul-
ton, the son of Agnes Estholme the fifth daughter and
co-heir of Robert Gosford. In the second year of K. Ed.
3'^'*., Sarah the widow of Robert Leyburn held Caddy's
part, John Penyston Kirkby's part, and the said John
Multon the residue. But now Pennington, Kirkby, and
Sennus of Seaskall, hold it.
Hale. Hale in Hen. 3rd's time was the land of Alex-
ander de Hale ; Agnes and Constance his daughters held
it 23 Ed. i"., of Thomas Multon of Gilsland, but in Edw.
2^^. time she is named Christian in John Multon's office.
The Ponsonbys got Agnes's part, and in Rich. 2^^. time
William Beauchamp, Robert Harrington or Everington,
Richard Murthing, and the heir of John Stanley the other
part. But now Ponsonby holds it wholly.
Towards the sea coast stands Seaskall Hall, now the
mansion house of John Sennos, which is so called of this
word Skale, drawn from the latin Scalinga ad mare a Scale
or Skeele, for cattle and sheepcot at ye sea.
Sellowfield. And near it Sellowfield or Sea-low-field
seated upon the brook that falls from the mountains by
Calder Abbey.
Ponsonby. Upon the same brook stands Ponsonby,
whereof that race of gentlemen the Ponsonbies took their
name, some of whom yet remain. I read of Alexander the
son of Richard Ponsonby, who lived about the time of
Edw. 2"''., and William in Edw. s'''^., and Robert in Rich.

lived in K. Stephen and Hen. I'K, time. His son John the
son of Ponson was fined in Hen. 2""^., time because he
wanted his pledge. It it now the lands of .....
Saunton. Saunton was in Hen. 3'''^. time the in-
heritance of one Alane de Copeland, his capital mansion
house was in the township of Botle (or Butle), where he
held lands, (and in Seaton) of the Lord of Milium. And his
twenty pound lands in Santon, Irton, and Bolton, he held
of Thomas Multon of Gilsland, who held over of the Lord
of Egremont. After Alane and Richard his son succeeded
Alane, John and Richard. And in the 22nd year of Rich.
2"'^., one Alane son to Richard Copeland held lands there
in Retrawtrell.* At this present it is Mr. Irtons, and one
Winders who bought his part of Latus, and he of Mr.
Lancaster.
Bolton. Bolton in Copeland was the Waybergthwaites'
lands in Edw. ist time. One William Waybergthwaite
held 23rd Ed. i^'., decern libratas terrce there of Thomas
Multon of Gilsland, and his lands in Waybergthwaite of
the Lord of Milium. It is at this day the land of Senhous
and Kirkby.
Cauder Abbey. And at the other side of this beck is
seated the Abbey of Cauder, or Caldre, so called from the
rill or beck falling from the mountains of+ . . into the
dale where the abbey stands, and thence into the west
ocean. The water had that name of the Irish inhabitants
there taken from the form and nature of the place. The
Abbey as I have read was first founded in the year of Grace
1134, about the last year of King Hen. i"., when William
FitzDuncan was Lord of Egremont. Howbeit I think it
was not perfected till Thomas de Multon finished the
works and established a greater convent of Monks there.
* This name is queried in the margin of the Milbourne manuscript : nothing
like it occurs on the Ordnance Map. Editor.
f The mountains from whence the beck falls are named Caldfell (perhaps from
the cold blasts there usually found) and the name seems thence to be derived to
the rill. Gilpin.

Thomas Multon gave to the Abbey half the mannor of
Dereham, in the county of Cumberland, with the advowson
of the church there, " ad sustentationem unius Conventus

St. Brides. Between Cauder Beck and Beckermet
toward the sea stands St. Brides.t
Beckermet. A little above St. Brides lies the mannor
of Beckermet, now and of old the Flemings' lands of
Rydal, who as mesne Lords between the Barons of Egre-
mont and the possessors and land tenants of Rotington,
Frisington, Arloghden, and Weddikar, did hold them as
fees of Beckermet, and itself as a demesne of the baron as
a fee of Egremont Barony. The first Fleming that I read
of was Reginer Fleming whose son John was seized of the
same in K. Ed. z^^. time and his son Thomas the son of
John in Ed. 3'''^. time.
* Cavvder Abbey is now (1687) the inheritance of Richard Patrickson Esq., the
son of John Patrickson (a younger son of Patrickson of ye How), and
Bridget one of the daughters of Sir Richard Fletcher the son of Thomas Fletcher
of Cockermouth. The said Sir Richard Fletcher purchased the Abbey of
and settled it upon his daughter Bridget, who enjoyed it for some time sole, and
afterwards conveyed it by marriage to John Patrickson as aforesaid to whom
she had issue, the said Richard now living and one daughter Bridget married to
John Aglionby of Drawdykes Esq. The Patricksons give for arms Arg. 3

St. Bees. The church of St. Begh* was antiently a
parish church erected and dedicated in honour of an Irish
woman (named by some writers Begogh) sometime there,
of great sanctimony, whereupon the town was first called
Kirkby Begogh, i.e., villa sive habitatio ad Fanum Begce,
and by that name of Kirkby Begogh the church, rectory,
and town, (containing then seven great carucates of land)
were given to the abbey of St. Marie's at York, by William
de Meschines, then Lord of Egremont barony, and by him
made a cell of York Abbey. t He also laid the first founda-
tion of the priory, and that church which now standeth
and endowed it. And his brotherj Randolph Meschines
gave lands in Annerdale, or Annanderdale, and half a
carucat of land in Egremont, and other nobles, barons,
and gentlemen of the county did afterwards contribute
unto the same, till it became, of a small foundation, a
priory of good revenue able to support a prior and six
monks there at all times and to defray all charges of
building and other necessaries of the house yet always as
cell of York untill it was dissolved by Hen. Sth. The
name Begogh is Irish, derived of two words Beg-og, which
by interpretation are englished Little Young.
The bounders of William Meschines aforesaid which he
gave the priory are in these words : " Totam terrain et totuin
Feodum inter has divisas viz : a pede de Whitofthaven ad Ketel
et per Ketel donee cadit in Egre et per Egre quousque cadit in

RoTiNGTON. Rotington villa ad prata Rotinge, so called
because it was usually haunted with Barnacles, Rotgeese,
and wild fowl before it was inhabited. It it now the
mansion house of Henry* Sands, the Lord or owner
thereof of that name according to the following pedigree
viz :t
Their ancestor Sands in the year of King

Whitehaven. Whithaven or Whit-toft-haven is a
creek in the sea at the north end of a great bergh or rising

* The Sands of Roting^ton (called in old writings de Sabulonibus) were originally

Sands the last heir male of that name being dissatisfied as 'tis said, with the
loss of a mistress, sold his estate at Rotington to Curwen of Workington, and
went into Ireland, where he died. And Rotington is now (1687) in the possession
of Henry Curwen of Workington Esq. being advanced by the Curwens to a far
greater value than it was in the hands of the Sands. The Curwens purchased it

gives name to the village and haven. A very little rill
there falls into the sea which makes the harbour where
small b?,rks may enter and be defended by the hill from

King which he claimed from the foundation and to be
confirmed by Richard Lucy in K. John's time to his pre-

Hensingham. Hensingham or Hansingham Villa ad
pratinn Johannis is a manner and town there now pur-
chased by Thomas Salkeld of Satre, from Thomas Skelton
of Branthwaite. It was holden of the Abbott of St.
Marie's at York, per quartam partem feodi militis by the
Skeltons in the time of K. Hen. 6'", But Mr. Robert de
Branthwaite held a moiety thereof of Adam de Moresby,
4 Ed. i^'., together with the manner of Branthwaite, per
Servicium unius denarii per annum ad Natale Domini pro om-

Lords of Banton, and from thence to the Skeltons who
married the coheir of Thomas de Whitrigg, Lord of little
Banton. At the conquest one Gillesby or rather Gillesbred
held the same, whose sons Roger and William granted to
ye Abbey of York duas Bovatas in Hensingham et terrain de

Arlokenden. Arloghden now corruptly called Arloken-
den, Arnaden and Arladen, is parcel of the seignory of
Beckermit, a ffee thereof. The place was so named by the
Irish,* and gives name to the parish, town, and a family of
gentlemen called Harlakenden, of whose issue male there
are yet remaining some in the south parts. John le
Fleming gave the patronage of the rectory to Jollan abbot
of Caldre, in the 26 Hen. 3'''^. The lay fee was the in-
heritance of . . . whose three daughters and co-heirs
transferred their patrimony to the Harringtons, Lam-
plughs, and ... in King John's time.
Eynerdale. Eynerdale sallis ad Eyn, both the town and
parish now called by the inhabitants. The Irish named it
Lough-Eanheh Lacus vuliicrum, of the fowls that bred there
in the islands; and the river Oonh-Eanheh and the dale
Eanor or Ar-ean. The Saxons still retaining the Irish
name called the bottom and valley Enerdale. It was at
the Conquest desmene land of Copeland in William Mes-
chines time, but his sont Randolph Meschines gave it
to the Abbey of York, and half a carucat in Egremont, or
as I think but some part of Enerdale, for it was Harring-
ton's part of the demesn of Egremont in the partition of
John Multon's three co-heirs, and descended to the
Boyvills, and to the Grays and Parrs Marquess of Dorset,
and now to Queen Elizabeth as an escheat for want of
issue of Parr.
Frisington. Frisington was antiently a gentleman's
seat of that name, whose last heir male in Hen 4"^. time

Richard Gaitfald ; Agnes, the wife of John Lowson ; and
Ma. the wife of John Atkinson, who sold it to Wm. Lighe,

Kelton. Kelton or Ketelton, villa Ketelli, was first a
parcel of Lamplugh, and made a village by Ketellus, the
son of Eldred and Saltre the capital messuage and demesne
there was afterwards given by Gospatrick, the son of Orme
the son of Retell, to the Abbey of York in frank alms.
The Abbot made Satre a part of the cell of . . . But
Kelton continued always a lay ffee and is the inheritance
of one Moorhouse, grandchild to . . . wife to . . .
Moorhouse, sometime laundress to Queen . . who gave
Kelton to them and their heirs male. It escheated to the
crown for want of issue in the Lord Marquess of Northamp-
ton, Wm. Parr heir to the barons of Kendal, and to
the Harringtons of Harrington, and Adingham. Parr
was heir to the Marquis of Dorset Gray who had right
thereunto by Cicely the Lord William Boyville's daughter
and heir: her grandmother was daughter and heir to the
Harringtons of Harrington. Kelton was holden as a ffee
of Beckermit until the Lord Paramount's heir (3 copar-
ceners) Elizabeth daughter of Thomas Multon transferred
the seignory to Robert Harrington, and thereby ex-
tinguished the mesualty of the Lordship of Beckermit. At

Lamplugh. Lamplugh in the fells is that manor house
and seignory in the barony of Egremont which gave name

time to this day. The first Lord of Lamplugh that I read
of, was William de Lancaster, who exchanged Working-
ton and Lamplugh with Gospatrick the son of Orme,
Lord of Seaton beneath Derwent, for Middleton in Lons-
dale. This Wm. de Lancaster was a great baron, his
lands lay about Kendal, in Westmorland. He was a great
commander under Hen. 2"'^., in the wars against David of
Scotland and Earl Henry his son, in those parts, and
helped to recover the counties of Cumberland and
Northumberland from the Scots, which K. Stephen had
given them. By that exchange Lamplugh became the
Lord of Seaton's lands. The said Gospatrick held it all
his time, but after his death, his son Thomas gave it to
one Robert de Lamplugh and his heirs for paying yearly
a pair of gilt spurs to the Lord of Workington. This
Robert held it in Hen. z^^., and when Rich. i'''. reigned.
After Robert's death it descended to Adam his son in King
John's time. To which Adam Richard de Lucy, then
Lord of Egremont, and all Copeland, as Lord Paramount
of Lamplugh, confirmed the same and other things, as
Murton and Arlockden, unto him and his heirs, with

MuRTON. Murton or Moortown, villa ad Ericetum, is
next unto Lamplugh westward, and is now the inheri-
ance of John Lamplugh Esq. Of old his ancestors enjoyed
the same, and enjoyed great liberties thereby, as to arrest

partition between the two daughters and co-heirs of
Richard Lucy, it was allotted to the moiety of Alan Mul-
ton and Alice his wife as the 20th part of the barony of
Egremont. Thomas Multon, calling himself Lucy after
his mother's name, seated himself there, and bought of the
Moresbies, Brackenthwait, in exchange of the moiety of
Dissington, and also Thackthwaite, of an Agnes Dundraw
the wife of Roger Lindby, which he gave in marriage to
his sister Margaret the wife of Thomas Stanley, and her
heirs. Howbeit it reverted to the heirs of Thomas Lucy
and descended to Maud Lucy, who gave it and the rest of
her patrimony to her 2nd husband the Earl of Northum-

a priest whose heir did alien to Stanley, master of the

Moresby. Morisceby or Mauriceby, now Moresby, took
name first of one Maurice, who first seated himself there,
the ruins of whose mansion house yet appearing approves
the same. In that time when a gentleman placed his
capital messuage or mansion house forth of a town or an

sanguine of Seaton, and therefore confirmed Flemingby
to the Abbey of Holm Cultram, but he got not the lordship
of Seaton, for his wife died in the grandfather's time who
gave the land to her uncle Patrick de Culwen. Afterwards
they married the sister and heir of William Cancessfield,
whose father Richard Cancessfield married AHcia the daur.
and heir of William and sister and heir of Michael Flem-
ing of Adingham, in Hen. 3"^= time. And in Ed, 3'^'^^ time
they married with the third co-heir of John de Multon
Lord of Egremont, and at the last a daughter transferred
the inheritance to the Bonvills, whose daughter Cicely did
in like sort the same with the Bonvills' lands to Thomas
Gray, son of John Marquis of Dorset. They held it three
descents and lastly it fell to the crown by escheat from the
death of Wm. Parr Marquis of Northampton. Another
Harrington married the daughter and one of the two co-
heirs of Bastingthwaite, whose last rebelled with Martin
Thwai'th ; another married the third co-heir of Robert
Brune of Bothill, and had her purparty.
Workington. Next unto Harrington, between it and
the foot of the river Darwent towards the sea, stands
Workington Hall, now the mansion house and chief seat of
Nicholas Curwen Esq., Lord of the manor of Workington
in the barony of Egremont, and of the manor of Seaton
on the other side of Darwent in the barony of Allerdale.
A gentleman* descended of an honourable and great parent-

William the Conqueror's time or in the days of William
Rufus his son the next king of England, about which time

time I read of this Ketellus, but without any certainty of
his father or from whom he descended or in what place
or country he was seated. There was one Ketellus Lord
of Newton, and another Ketellus the son of Ulff, a wit-
ness to diverse antient evidences and deeds of feoffment
made near that time, which neither in respect of the time
nor place I may probably think to be the same.
The first Lord of Workington after the Conquest was
Wm. de Lancastre, who by the consent of William his son
and heir, gave the towns of Workington and Lamplugh to
Gospatrick the son of Orme the son of Ketell, in exchange
for the town of Middleton in Lonsdale in Westmorland,
where the said William de Lancastre had other large pos-
sessions. And he did reserve to himself and his heirs a
yearly rent of 6d. ad Nundinas Carleoli or a pair of gilt
spurs, and bound Gospatrick and his heirs to do him
homage and discharge his foreign service for the same to
the barony or castle of Egremont. To this deed of ex-
change was witness Ketell the son of Ulff.
To this Orme the son of Ketell, one Waldeof the son of
Gospatrick Earl of Dunbar in Scotland, and then being
Lord of Allerdale, by the gift of Earl Randolph Meschines
gave the manner of Seaton beneath Darwent, parcel of the
said barony in frank marriage with Gunhild his sister.
And the towns of Cambmerton, Graysothen, and Fleming-
by.
Seaton. And so became Seaton a mannor and the said
Orme first Lord (after the Conquest) of ye same. The
walls and ruins of his mansion house are to be seen there
at Seaton to this day.
The said Orme the son of Ketell had issue a son and
heir by his wife Gunhild the Lord Waldeof's sister, whom
he named Gospatrick after the name of Gunhild's father.
To this Gospatrick the son of Orme and his heir, his
cousin german Alan second Lord of Allerdale son and
heir to the said Waldeof gave high Ireby which continued
the Curwens' lands.
EGREMONT. 35
The said Gospatrick the son of Orme, was the first of
his house that was Lord of Workington, by the aforesaid
exchange made with William de Lancastre, and second
Lord of the manor of Seaton. He had issue Thomas,
Gilbert, Adam, Orme, and Alexander, who took their sir-
names as the manner was in that age of their father's
name and were called Thomas fil Gospatricii, Gilbert fil
Gospatric, &c.
Gospatrick their father gave two parts of the fishing in
Darwent and Flemingby to the abbey of Holme Cultram,
with all the appendices except Waitcroft, which he gave to
the priory of Carlisle, which Waitcroft John then prior of
Carlisle regranted to Thomas fil Gospatrick his heir, to
be holden of the priory freely, paying yearly 7s. rent at
Pentecost and Martinmass.
Thomas son of Gospatrick, son and heir of Gospatrick,
succeeded his father in the inheritance. And had issue
Thomas the son of Thomas the son of Gospatrick, Pat-
rick, and Alan.
To this Thomas the son of Gospatrick, one Rolland the
son of Ughtred the son of Fargus sometime Lord of
Galloway, gave the great Lordship of Culwen in Galloway
in Scotland, in which grant the brothers of the said Thomas,
Alexander and Gilbert sons of Gospatrick, and Thomas
and William sons of the said Gilbert, are mentioned as
witnesses. The said Thomas the son of Gospatrick, con-
firmed his father's grant of Flemingby to the abbey and
convent of Holm Cultram, and gave them the whole fishing
of Darwent, which Thomas the son of Thomas, confirmed
unto them. And the said Thomas the son of Gospatrick
gave Lamplugh to Robert de Lamplugh and his heirs to
be holden of him by paying yearly two gilt spurs. And
he gave to Patrick his second son Culwen in Galloway.
Thomas son of Gospatrick, died Dec. 7, a.d. 1152, and was buried in Shapp
Abbey in Westmorland, to which he was a great benefactor. Sir D. F's MS.
36 EQREMONT,
The said Patrick the son of Thomas the son of Gospat-
rick, by the death of his eldest brother Thomas, the son of
Thomas, succeeded as next heir to Thomas his father, and
was called Patrick* Culwen de Workington. He pulled
down the mannor house at Seaton, and dwelt thenceforth
at Workington. And from him all his posterity were called
in Culwen. He gave Cambmerton to his brother Alan1
which was before a parcel of Seaton and bounded it forth.
From that Alan the Cambmertons took their name.
Gilbert de Culwen the son of Patrick de Workington was
Sheriff of Cumberland 3 Ric. 2°^.
Brigham. Brigham villa ad pontem was one of the five
towns which William Meschines Lord of Copeland gave
to Waldeof Lord of Allerdale at the Conquest. Waldeof
gave Brigham to Dolphin (the son of Ailward, together
with little Crosby Applethwaite and Langrig), in frank
marriage with Matilda his sister. After some descents it
fell to sisters, for in the 40th year of Hen. t,^^ Beatrice de
Lowther and Thomas de Huthwaite gave their part of the
rectory of Brigham to Isabel Countess of Albermarle, then
Lady Paramount of Allerdale, who in the 8th Ed. i^'
impleaded Robert de Yenwith and Alice his wife for the
rectory, but after they agreed by a fine levied, that the
Countess and the heirs of Isabel the wife of Walter
Twinham, the daughter of the said Alice, the wife of Yen-
with, should present alternis vicibus. In the 8th Ed. i'"
Gilbert Huthwaite held the moiety of Brigham, and after
that the Swinburnes of Huthwaite ever enjoyed that part,
and it is this day in the possession of John Swinburn.
The other moiety descended from Walter Twinham to
Adam Twinham his son, who died seised thereof 35 Ed.
i«. And Walter the son of Adam Twinham gave the
rectory by fine unto John Harcla and his heirs 13 Ed. 2°'^

the rectory was seised to the king, though he stood seised
in trust to the use of Henry Harcla son and heir to John
Harcla.
Wythope. Wythorpe salicum convallis was a wast
piece of Allerdale above Darwent, and consequently within
the barony of Egremont. It lies upon Darwent where it
becomes a greai: lake between Emelthwaite and Thorn-
thwaite. Dame Alice Lucy the second daughter and
co-heir of Richard Lucy, and wife to Alan de Multon,
second son to Thomas Multon, who married the widow of
Richard Lucy, gave Withorp and half of Whinfell, now
Lorton, the eighth part of Broughton and certain corn out
of Aspatrick mill, and three messuages and thirty acres of
land in Caldbeck, unto John Lucy her son by the said
Alan Multon, whom she named Lucy and not Multon, be-
cause that Lucy was the greater family. And, for that her
elder sister Annabell, who married Lambert Multon, did
continue the name and arms of Thomas Multon their
father in the family of Egremont, she caused her children
to be named Lucy and gave the Lucys' coat to her pos-
terity. She reserved of Withope a penny rent service or
a pair of spurs and after it was inhabited it was worth
£"10 per annum. The residue was worth ^^8 as. 2d., and
there she reserved a rent service of -^3 per annum. The
said John Lucy lived in the time of Hen. 3'''^ and Ed. i",
and dyed in the time of Ed. 2"*^, about the 8th year of his
reign. Hugh Lowther the son of Hugh Lowther enjoyed
Withope, for in the 8th year of Ed. 2,'"^, Christian the
widow of the said John Lucy sued him for her dower in
Wythope. It descended in the issue male of the Lowthers
unto Sir Richard Lowther, now knight, according to the
following pedigree : —

then Robert Courtney, and Dame Alice Romeley his wife,
one of the three daughters and co-heirs of William Fitz-

This Waldeof FitzGospatrick went to Jerusalem and
brought thence a piece of the Holy Cross.
Alan second baron of Allerdale had issue a son named

Finally he died without issue male, therefore his nephew
William FitzDuncan Earl of Murray succeeded him in
his inheritance.
William Romeley (called also W° FitzDuncan), Earl
of Murray (who married Alice the daughter and heir of
ALLERDALE. 43
Rob. Romeley Lord of Skipton in Craven, begotten by the
said Robert on his wife, the Lord W™ Meschines daugh-
ter and heir baron of Egremont or Coupland, and the Earl
Randolph Meschines brother), was the third baron of Aller-
dale and also of Egremont, and Lord of Skipton in right
of his wife. He had issue Wm. first (?) Lord of Egremont,
who died under age, and three daughters — Sybill or Cicely,
married to Wm. le Gros Earl of Albermarle with the
. honour of Skipton for her purparty by K. Hen. 2^^ — Anna-
bel married to Reginald Lucy, with the Seignory of
' Egremont by the same king : and Alice Romeley first
married to Gilbert Pippard, with the honour of Cocker-
mouth, Aspatrick, and Allerdale, by the said King Henry,
and afterwards to Robert Courtney by the Queen. But
because the barony of Egremont was lesser in value than
Allerdale, Reginald Lucy had some part of the barony of
Allerdale (after the death of W™ FitzDuncan), but Dame
Alice Romeley his wife's sister was chief lady of the
seignory.
Alice Romeley the third daughter and co-heir of W™ Fitz-
Duncan was therefore the fourth lady of Allerdale. But
having no children alive at her death she gave away divers
mannors and lands to houses of religion and to her friends
and kinsmen. She had a son named William, who was
drowned in Craven coming home from hunting or hawking.
His hound or spaniel being tyed to his girdle by a line, (as
they crossed the water near Barden Tower in Craven),
pulled his master from off his horse and drowned him.
When the report of the mischance came to his mother, she
answered Bootless Bayl brings endless Sorrow. She had also
three daughters Alice, Avice, Mavice, who died all un-
married and without children. Wherefore the inheritance
was after her death parted between the house of Albemarle
and Reginald Lucy baron of Egremont, descending to her
sisters' children and their posterity.
A moiety of the barony of Allerdale came to W" de
44 ALLERDALE.
Fortibus Earl of Albemarle, as son and heir to Hawise
daughter and heir lo Cybill or Cecill the sister of Dame
Alice Romeley, and after his death to W™ de Fortibus his
son, whose sole daughter and heir Avelina (wife to Edward
Crouchback, brother to K. Edward i^'.,) dying without
issue, that moiety thereupon came also to Thomas Lucy
and his heirs in the right of Annabel the second daughter
of W™ FitzDuncan, and sister to Alice Romeley. That
moiety contained Cockermouth and Papcastle and the fees
holden of them, viz., of Cockermouth — Brigham, Eagles-
field, Dean, Clifton, Crakesothen, Huthwaite, Collundland,
Ullaik, Branthwait, Embleton, Pardeshew, and other lands
above Darwent. And of Papcastle — Threpland, Holmes,
Castlerigg, Tallentyre, Broghton, Ribton, Ireby base, Bol-
ton, and Wigton, with their appurtenancies.
The other moiety of this barony descended to Alice and
Annabel Lucy daughters and co-heirs to Reginald Lucy
and Annabel his wife, sister to the said Alice Romeley,
whereby that moiety was subdivided. To Annabel Lucy,
Lambert Multon the son of Thomas succeeded. Lambert
had issue Thomas. Thomas had issue John Multon Lord
of Egremont, whose three daughters parted his lands
amongst them. Margaret the youngest of them was mar-
ried to the last Thomas Lucy, and united again the moiety
of Allerdale.
Alice Lucy the other daughter of Reginald Lucy had
issue Thomas Lucy, who had issue another Lucy, to whom
the other moiety of Allerdale deiX;ended by the death of
Avelina Countess of Albermarle.
Anthony Lord Lucy brother and heir to the last Thomas
Lucy, succeeded in the inheritance. He married Eliza-
beth the daughter of Robt Tilliolf Lord of Scaleby. This
Anthony Lucy was he who arrested Andrew Harcla Earl
of Carlisle in K. Ed. 2'^ time, and gave judgement up-
on him for his treason. He had issue Thomas, and died.

DovENBY. Dovenbie or Dolphinby in Allerdale, was
first called of one Dolphin the son of Ailward who first
seated himself there and called the name of his mansion
house Dolphinby from his own name. His posterity were
called Dovenbies of the place corruptly instead of Dolphin-
bies. In Henry 2'^'^ time, one Richard de Dovenby
possessed the same, and his son Benedict de Bridekirk
confirmed to the Abbot of Caldre lands in Gilcrouse.
Waldeof first Lord of Allerdale gave unto the said Dolphin
the son of Ailward, with Maud his sister, Applethwait
besides Keswick, Little Crosby, Langrigg, and Brigham,
with the patronage of Brigham. Ailward his father seated
himself at Ailwardby, naming the place after his own name.
After the issue male of Dolphin were extinguished, which
was about the time of Hen 3"''' Dovenby fell by marriage
to the Rawlles or Rowles. In the 51st year of Hen 3'^'^
one Roger de Rawll was possessed of Dovenbie. After
him one Alan de Rawll held the mannor of Dovenbie, in
the 33rd Ed i^', of Thomas Lucy. In the 23rd of Edw
3'''^, Richard Kirkbrydet was Lord of Dovenby, and died
then seised thereof, leaving his son Richard a ward. He
died ye 22nd Rich z^, or the ist of Hen 4"^. And by his
daughter or sister, Dovenby was transferred into the family
of the Lamplughs, she being married to a younger brother
of Sir Thomas Lamplugh of Lamplugh, in whose issue
male the right thereof remaineth at this day.

Plumland and Sunderland, with their appurtenances. Alan
the son of Waldeof gave Ruthwait and the third part of
the wastes of Ishall to Gamel le Brun Lord of Bothil,
ad tertiani partem unius villcB. And he gave the principal
mannor of Isha.l\, cum pertinentiis Biencrake and the ser-
vices of Newton to Radulph Engayne. Radulph had issue
William Engayne, and he a daughter named Ada mother
to Sir Hugh Morvill. Of her it is written (by a monk) that
in the old age of her husband she was greatly enamoured of
one Lyolf, a young gentleman that served her husband
whom by no means she could persuade to abuse himself to-
wards his master, he dutifully avoiding every occasion that
might further her desire. But being commanded one day by
his master to carry a dish of meat to her when she kept her
chamber : after he was entered, she caused a gentlewoman to
make fast the door and forthwith shamed not to move him
to lye with her, as often times before she had done. But
he continued resolutely faithfull to his master, and would
not consent for anything she could do or say. Where-
upon fearing that he would discover her lewd incontinency
and turning her inordinate lust into revenge, she presently
made her gentlewoman to make a great outcry. When
her husband heard them he came into the chamber with
his servants and in great rage asked the cause of such
disquietness. She accused the young gentleman that he
would have ravished her, and thereupon he commanded
him to be bound and cast into a lead full of scalding
water. Sir Hugh Morvill his son by that wife, afterwards
killed Thomas Beckett the Archbishop of Canterbury,
wherefore the monks of that time gladly took hold of what-
soever might disgrace him or his parents to posterity.*
After Radulph Engayne, the estate fell to William his
son, and from him to Sir Hugh Morvill's father in the

right of the said Ada Engayne his wife, and by her death
to Sir Hugh Morvill himself, and after his death with his
daughters and co-heirs to Sir Richard Lucy Lord of Egre-
mont and Sir Richard Waryne or Werune, who enjoyed
the same together with the barony of Burgh, and after
them it fell to Thomas the son of Thomas de Multon, (as
will hereafter appear in the title of Burgh). Thomas de
Multon in the time of Hen. 3'^'^ entailed Ishall and Blen-
crake with the appurtenancies to his two younger sons
Edward and Hubbert, and their heirs general successively.
And so lost the lords of Ishall the services of Newton,
because that tenure remained in the granter Thomas Mul-
ton and his heirs as it had to him descended.
By that intail Hubert Multon enjoyed Ishall, and William
his son after him, whose daughter Margaret brought the
inheritance into the family of the Lighes in Ed 2^ time,
whose issue male have enjoyed it till old Thomas Lighe,
the last of that name, gave it to his wife Maud Redmain,
whom he married being a widow, after the death of his
first wife, a lusty young gentlewoman, who granted it
presently after his death to Wilfred Lawson, her present
husband.*
* Maud Redmain the widow of old Thomas Leigh of Ishall being- possessed of
the inheritance as appears by the context, soon after married Wilfreij Lawson, and
as frankly conveyed over the inheritance to him as she had received it of Leigh,
which Wilfred, (afterwards Sir Wilfred), having no issue by the sd Maud his wife,
settled his estate upon William Lawson, a kinsman of his own, to the great dis-
gust of Mary Irton, (heir general of Maud Redmain), who had long time before
continued in hopes that he would have settled it upon her, but being disappointed
in that she attempted to recover it by law agst William, pretending that Maud
Redmain had not made a legal conveyance to Sir Wilfred, and that what she did
was the effect of horrible threatenings and violence. But the suit was at last
ended by composition, William Lawson giving her for her title the tithes of Blen
crake and the demesne of Threlkeld, worth together about ,^200 per annum.
The pedigree of the Lawsons of Ishall
William Lawson married the daughter of Bewly of Heskat in Caldbeck, and
had issue by her Sir Wilfrid Lawson, Knt. now (16S7) Lord of Ishall. Sir Wilfrid
Lawson purchased Heskat hall and married ye daughter of Sir Edward Mus-
grave, of Hayton, Knt., (the father of William, the father of Sir Edward Mus-
grave, Bart, the father of Sir Richard now living), by whom he had issue William,
Wilfrid, Edward, Henry, and George, and daughters
William the oldest son of Sir Wilfrid Lawson married Strickland,
daughter of Sir . . . Strickland, and became blind and died in the lifetime of
4^ ALLERDALE
Threpland. Threpland, contentionis terra, is now a
village and the inheritance of John Salkeld, a younger
brother of Lancelot Salkeld of Whitehall. He holds it
of AUerdale barony and had it by purchase from Lancelot
Skelton of Arminthwait Esq. It descended to him by
several descents of the Skeltons from Thomas Skelton a
younger brother who married the co-heir of Henry Multon
Knt and Margaret his wife, in Ed 3"''^ time. Multon and
his wife had it by fine from W™ de Rednesc alias Mul-
castre, An. 15 Ed 2. And the said W" Thomas and
John Mulcastre brethren successively had it before Mul-
ton by the gift of Michael de Harcla in the time of Ed.
IS', father to Andrew Earl of Carlisle.
Uldale. The mannor of Ulndale lyeth above Bolton,
and is so called of the river Eln running through the
same, which river is diversely named as Elne, Alne, and
Olne, (the Romans named it Olena), and from thence the
valley thereof is called Ulndale. This mannor (being a
parcel of the barony of AUerdale), together with the man-
nor of Gilcrouse, was given by Waldeof the son of Earl
Gospatrick, unto Adam the son of Lyolf brother of
Phorme the son of Lyolf baron of Greystoke, from which
Adam they descended by a daughter to the Bonckhills, who
granted forth Gillcrouse to a younger brother Robert
Bonekill : And the sons of the said Robert, Thomas
Bonekill and Walter, gave away their inheritance in
Gilcrouse to the abbey of Caldre, which Ranulph Bone-
kill Knt., then Lord Paramont both of Ulndale and
Gilcruse, confirmed to the abbot. Sir Ranulph had issue
Alexander, who had issue Adam, who gave Awerthvvait
parcel of his mannor of Ulndale to the priors of Carlisle
his father leaving- on Wilfrid and two daug-hters. Sir Wilfrid Lawson purchased
a baronet's patent and dyed Dec. i, i6SS, leaving his estate and honour to Sir \V.
L. Bart., his grandcl ild. Wilfrid the second son of Sir Wilfrid Lawson had by the
gift of his father Bray ton and other lands of equal value with the paternal which
he now enjoys. He married the daughter of ... . James,
of Washington, in the county of Durham, by whom he has issue. Gilpin.
ALLERDALE. 49
The said Adam had issue another Alexander Bonekill
whose daughter and heir first married to John Stewart
kinsman to the King of Scots, and afterwards to David
Bregham a Scottish knight of great valour, and by him
transferred the inheritance to the family of the Breghams.
This David Bregham was a companion of W'" Walleys
that was executed for treason at London, committed against
Edw. i*^' by resisting that king's attempt for the superior
Lordship of Scotland, and by taking part with Robert
Bruce against the Balliols' right to the crown of Scotland.
Walleys was a man of extraordinary strength, and David
Bregham an extraordinary good horseman, whereupon the
Scots thus rymed on them :
The man was ne'er so wight or good
But wurthy Walleys durst him byde
Nor never horse so wyld or wood
But David Bregham durst hin ryde.
David Bregham thereby forfeited his estate to Anthony
Lord Lucy, then Lord of AUerdale. And so Ulndale again
became parcel of that antient barony, and the manor
extinguished of right. Yet it was continued as a manor
by the Lucies posterity and the Piercys Earls of Northum-
berland untill the sixth Henry of that name gave his
inheritance to Hen. 8*, which king granted forth the man-
nor of Ulndale to Thomas Dalston and Eleanor his 2"**
wife, and to the heirs of their two bodies, and now Chris-
topher Dalston gent, their heir as in their right enjoyeth
the same.
BoTHiLL. Bothill was demesne of AUerdale till Waldeof
Lord of AUerdale gave the town to Gamel the son of
Brun in Hen. i^' time, whose posterity enjoyed the same
in the issue male. His father's chief mansion was at
Brunskeugh beneath the river Eden near the wastes.
Whereupon Radulph the son of Gamel was called Ranulph
de Feritate, Rauf of the waste, and so his son Robert
de Feritate. They were Lords of Glasson, Beaumont,
50 ALLERDALE.
Drurnburgh, and Bowness, which they held of the Lords
of Brough. In Hen. 3'^'^ and Ed. i^' time, one Richard
Brun was Lord of Bothill and of the. sixth part of Tor-
penhow and the premises, and after that Robert Brun, in
Ed. 3"^^ time. Afterwards Bothill and the Bruns' lands fell
to three co-heirs married to Nicholas Harrington brother
or kinsman of the Lord of Harrington, W™ Culwen of
Workington, and Thomas Bowet. In the part of Nicholas
Harrington succeeded James who died 5th Hen. 5*, and
after James, Sir Rich. Harrington Knt. 7th Ed. 4*'', and
it is now in the possession of Thomas Denton of Warnhill.
To W™ Culwen's part succeeded his heirs of Workington
till Sir Henry Culwen Knight, father of Nicholas, sold the
same to Anthony Barwis of Hildkirk Esq. Bowet's part
of Bothill is now enjoyed by Thomas Ellys, whose ances-
tor W™ Ellys purchased the same of Nicholas Bowet by
fine levyed 8th Ed. 4*.
The town stands on the side of a hill, where in old times
the watch was kept day and night for sea wake, which
service was performed by the county beneath Darwent at
that place, and above Darwent in Coupland at Buthill, or
Bothill in Milium and at Bothilton in Egremont barony.
It is called Servituim de Bodis in old evidences, whereupon
Bothill was named the Bode or Both-hill, and a village at
the foot of it Bothillton — Bodorum Collis. The country
people call a lantern a bowet, which was a name then in
use for a light on the shore to direct sailors in the night ;
properly signifying a token, and not a light or lantern. As
they call a message warranted by a token a bode-word at
this day. And the watchmen be called bodesmen, because
they had a bode or watch word given them for the enemies
fraud in the night.
ToRPENHOW.* Torpenhow was at the Conquest of
England ancient demesne of the barony of Allerdale, until
* In this town there was an antient seat belonging to the antient family of the
Applebies which is now enjoyed by Sir Geo. Fletcher of Hutton. Sir D. F's MS.
ALLERDALE. 5I
Alan the son of Waldeof gave the same in frank marriage
with Gunhyld his sister to Ughtred the son of Fargus
Lord of Galloway to be holden by him and bis heirs by
cornage and other services. In Hen. 2*^= time, one Philip
de Valomes in the right ov his wife held the same of
Reginald Lucy and Annabel his wife, who had the moiety
of AUerdale till the King seised the tenure. And in King
John's time Robert Stuteville brother to the Lord Nicholas
Stuteville (Lord of Lyddall barony) held it. An. 31 Hen.
3"^, W™ the son of William de Ulfesby gave three caru-
cats of land there to Robert Mulcastre, and held five parts
of Torpenhow, (Brun held the other sixth part which he
adjoined to his manner of Bothill) of the said Lord of
Lyddall heir to Stuteville. The said five parts descended
to the Mulcastres, and from them to the Tilliolfs, whose
co-heirs transferred the same with other lands to the
families of the Moresbies and Colvilles.
It is called Tor-pen-how, every syllable of which word
in the several languages of the people which successive-
ly did inhabit the place doth signify after a sort one
thing. The Britons who were the first inhabitants call a
rising topped hill (such an one as is there) Pen, i.e., a head.
The Saxons next succeeding them, and not well under-
standing the signification of Pen, called it Tor-Pen, i.e.,
the pinacle Pen. And they who came next, perhaps under-
standing neither of the former names, called it (as we do
yet) Torpenhow, i.e., the how or hill Torpen. Others have
thought it so named upon this occasion: the Saxons
called a village dorp, or rather thorp, and finding a hill
there to be called of the Britons (their forebears) Pen a
head or hill top, they named it Dor-pen-how, the Town hill.
Others will have it named of one Turpe, whom they sup-
pose to have been lord thereof, of which name they find
upon record one Robert Turpe sometime Lord of Eden-
hall, but with better probability they may conjecture
Edenhall to have been first a country village and therefore
52 ALLERDALE.
the said Robert to be rightly called Robert de Dorpe, and
he and his ancestors might cause his house and that
dorp or village afterwards to be called Edenhall, or the
hall upon Eden, after his ancestors had seated themselves
there and built a hall or capital messuage or mansion
house.*
Bolton or Bothilton. Bolton or Bothilton was an-
tient demesne of Allerdale till Adam the son of Waldeof
gave the same to Robert Bastingthwait, and the Isle of
Estholm to his bastard brother Gospatrick the son of
Waldeof, one of whose posterity took the name of Basten-
thwait. I read of divers knights of that name, one Sir
Robert de Bastenthwait in Hen. . . . time, and Adam
his son, and one Alexander in Ed. i'** time. The said
Gospatrick seated himself at Bolton, from whom it des-
cended unto the Lascells by Christian the wife of Duncan
in Rich, i*^' time : and to Thomas in Hen. 3"^"^ time.
Thomas de Lascelles his son Lord of Bolton married
Christian daughter of W" de Ireby, and confirmed to ye
abbott and monks of Holm Cultram the hermitage of St.
Hyld, now called Hildkirk, and granted them common in
Bolton. His widow Christian Ireby the daughter of W™
dyed 33rJ Ed. i^* seised of Heslespring in Westward,
Gamelsby and Unthank beyond Eden, and of Market Ireby,
which Ireby she held of John Boyvill of Thoresby. In
Ed. 2°*^^ time Roger Mowbray Lord of Bolton forfeited his
estate therein by taking a part with Robert Bruce. After
it came to his son Robert Mowbray in Ed. 3'"'^ time, and to
Alexander Mowbray, and after to the Nevills, 12 Ric. 2°'^.t
John Nevill of Raby died seised of Bolton and the Mowbray
lands in Gamelsby and Unthank. In the 22nd of that
* I read of one Adam de Torpenhow, but I know not whether he was father of
Alice Stutevill or issue male to Ughtred Valones or Stuteville. Roger de Quincy
constable of Scotland in the rig-ht of his wyfe, one of the daughters and fieirs of
Allan son of Roland son of Ughtred, had the tuition of Sybill de Valones, and

thwait of Maud Lucy. Thenceforth the Nevills Lords
Latimer held the same untill it fell to Henry now Earl
of Northumberland, by the death of his mother the
Countess one of the daughters and co-heirs of the last
Lord Latimer, of the name of the Nevills.*
Caldbeck. Caldbeck was long after the Conquest a
wast forest ground parcel of Allerdale. It is a dale lying
between Warnell Fell and the mountains Carrick and
Grisedale Fells. It was first called Caldbeck of a rill or
beck that falleth down eastward through the same into
Caldey, and therefore Caldey Beck contractly Caldbeck : or
of the coldness of the place which is for most part in win-
ter covered with snow, and therefore called the Coldbeck,
which in the dialect of the country is Caldbeck. It con-

taineth that dale now inhabited, and a great part of the
mountains of Mosdale and Grisedale untill the White-
Water Dash at the head of Alne or Elne that falleth into
Ulndale. The two dales on the east side of the mountains
are hence named viz : Mosdale of a great moss ground
there, and Grisedale of a store-house there, which the
barons of Greystoke held of Caldbeck, where they kept
their sheep, cattle, and swine, and suffered the porklins
to run wild in the woods that grew in the skirts and borders
of the mountains.
Out of Westmorland and the east parts of Cumberland
there lay (as yet there doth) an highway or beaten street
through Caldbeck into the west country of Cumberland,
which was dangerous to passengers, who were often robbed
in that place which was much haunted by thieves in the
woods and mountains there, whereupon Randulph Engayne*
the chief forester of Englewood granted to the prior of
Carlisle license to build there an hospital for the relief of
poor travellers that might happen to be troubled in these
thievish parts or annoyed by the storms or snow in winter.
And he further gave liberty to the prior to inclose a part
of the same, which he did where the church stands at this
time, which inclosure became part of the glebe of the
church. The prior procured not his consent for the right
of the soil but without his consent it could not be inclosed,
for that great large deer lodged continually in the moun-
tains and woods there, and it was then used as a park
or forest ; and the right of the soil was in the barons of
Allerdale. After this hospital was built they founded the
church to the honour of St. Mungo ; and the place became
fully inhabited in that part of the same called Caldbeck
Uppeton. And afterwards it grew inhabited under the fell
sides, which later buildings they called Caldbeck Underfell.

First that part towards Greystock, as Hesket* and Halt-
clugh, was brought to tillage as best fitting for corn which
is^he lower end of the dale, andUhereforth the' hamlet at
the church standing higher in the] dale was called Cald-
beck up in the town, and contractly Uppeton.
The priors became patrons of the rectory by the grants
and confirmations of William de Vescy and Burga his
wife, and Dame Alice Romeley Lady of Allerdale. They
then dissolved the hospital and endowed the church with
the lands thereof, about King John's time. In Hen. 3'''^^
time one John Francigena, Francois, or French, a kins-
man of Gilbert Francois Lord of Routhcliff was parson
there and got a great inclosure in Warnhill bank in the
forest of Englewood, which he joined to the glebe, but the
monks of Holm so quarrelled him that he was glad to
part stakes and gave them that moiety of the same which
is now called Friar Hall, and kept that moiety to himself
called the Parson's park.
K. Hen. 8*^ sold Caldbeck Uppeton to Thomas Dais-
ton de Caldbeck; and Caldbeck Under Fell to Thomas Ld.
Wharton and his heirs, who being warden at that time of
these West Marches so treated the said Thomas Dalston
that he was glad to sell him Uppeton also, and now Philip
Lord Wharton his grandchild enjoyeth the same. After-
wards in the time of Qu. Mary, the Earl of Northumberland
granted the reversion of Caldbeck to him and his heirs
male.
* I have seen an old brass seal belonging- to the Bewlies (fenes Wilfrid Lawson
de Brayton who now enjoyes the estate of Heskat, by the gift of Sir Wilfrid Law-
son, Knt. and Bart, his father, who purchased the same of the Bewlies his mother's
kinderd), the seal is this coat of arms (arg. a chevron between three daws heads
erased sable), but the inscription about it is (in the German character used in
England about 200 years ago) SigMuvi jFohamiis Sutton, so that (it seems) the
Bewlies had this coat from the Suttons, together with the estate by the heirs
general. Gilpin.
It is now called Hesket Newmarket, from a market lately set up there, and
in contradistinction to another Hesket in the forest of Englewood. It was accord-
ing to Mr. Gilpin, formerly the estate of the Suttons, and descended from them
by the heirs general to the Bewlies. Sir Wilfrid Lawson, of Ishall, Bart., (whose
mother was a Bewley), purchased it of his mother's relations, and gave it to
Wilfred Lawson, Esq., of Brayton, his 2nd son (afterwards Sir Wilfred), in whose
family it is, 1749. Milbourne MS.

Ireby. Ireby, Camden saith it was called Arbeia in ye
time of the Romans. Their band of soldiers called the
Barcarii Tigrienses were then placed there. At the Con-
quest it was a gentleman's seat, and a village, and then
called Ireby, and now it is become two mannors, High
Ireby, in old evidences called Alta Ireby, because it stands
higher on the hill : and Low Ireby, in antient writings
named Ireby Base, and Market Ireby also, of a liberty to
hold a fair and market there granted by the King . .
to . . . Lord thereof, and ever since continued. The
High Ireby is more antient, howbeit the other is seated in
the better place : and being land of greater men successively
hath always been of more account and hath some deal
obscured the other.
High Ireby. High Ireby was parcel of the demesne
of Allerdale in Waldeof's time, and Allan his son and heir
granted it to Gospatrick the son of Orme Lord of Seaton
and Workington. The same Gospatrick gave it to his
younger son Orme the son of Gospatrick who was there-
upon called Orme de Ireby, and from him all the Irebys
are descended and take their sirname. Robert de Courtney
and Dame Alice his wife one of the three co-heirs of
William FitzDuncan Lord of Allerdale gave to this Orme
de Ireby Emelton in Rich. 1=^' time. And he held lands in
Waverton. He had issue Adam his heir, and William a
priest that gave lands in Gilcruce to the Abbey of Holm
Cultram. Adam had issue Thomas his heir, and WiUiam
and Allan, father of Isaac who gave his dwelling house in
Ireby (called Isaacby, now Prior Hall), to the priory of
Carlisle. Thomas had issue John, and he Thomas, the
father of W™ Ireby (the last Lord of that name of Ireby
Alta that I read of). Lord of Gamelsby and Glassenby.
Ireby Base. Ireby Base, or Market Ireby, is now
Musgrave's lands of Crookdake, and was the Tilliofs' from
the death of Robert Tilliof, that died 39 Ed. ^'■^. Robert
had it of Thomas Middleton the son of Peter the son of
ALLERDALE. 57
Adam, to whom Christian the daughter of W" de Ireby
then wife of Robert Bruse, and late widow to Thomas Fitz-
Duncan Lasciell of Bolton gave it by fine 33 Ed. 1='. She
held it of W" Boyvill of Thoresby Knt. whose father
Guido Boyvill married the heir general of the Thoresbies ;
whose ancestor one Herbert de Thoresby had first made
it an assart in the forest and rented it to the King. W"
de Ireby was but a younger brother, but was advanced by
K. John to a far better estate than his eldest brother, who
also made him Knight and preferred him to the marriage
of Odard's daughter and heir, Lord of Glassonby and
Gamelsby, then the King's ward.*
Blennerhasset and Uckmanby. Blennerhasset and
Uckmanby was parcel of AUerdale, which Alan Fitz-
Waldeof gave unto Radulph de Lindsey with ye sister of
ye said Alan named Ochtreda in frank marriage. From
them the inheritance came into the Mulcastres. In the
time of King H. 3^^ Robert de Mulcastre held the same.
After him Wm his son who had issue Walter, and he
* Market Ireby is now (1687) the inheritance of Sir John Ballantine of Crook-
dake, who married Ann, one of the daughters and co-heirs of William Musgrave,
last lineal heir male of the Musgraves of Crookdake, and purchased of the other
two co-heirs Chartres Askeugh their respective
purparties.
From Robert de Tilliol aforesaid, it descended to Peter his son, whose son
Robert the fool (last heir male of the Tilliols) dying without issue, 14 H. 6th,
A.D. 1433, the Tilliols' lands were divided between Isabel the wife of John Colvil,
and Margaret the wife of James Moresby, the two daughters and co-heirs of Peter
de Tilliol. Ireby was allotted inter alia to Isabel from whom it descended to Wm.
Colvill alias Tilliol her son, who dying Ig Ed. 4th, A.D. 1479, without issue male,
his two daughters, Phillip the wife of William Musgrave, and Margt. the wife of
Nicholas Musgrave inherited his estate. From Nicholas Musgrave and Margaret
his wife Sir Richard Musgrave of Hayton is descended in the right line (v. title
Scaleby). But Ireby was allotted to the elder sister Phillis, from whom it descended

Newton. Newton in Allerdale is now the inheritance
of Edward Musgrave second son to William and his wife
Isabel Martindale, one of the co-heirs of . . . Martin-
dale, last of that name Lord of Newton. To him it
descended from one Roger Martindale his ancestor, who
married the daughter and heir of Thomas de Newton lord
thereof in Ed. 3'''^^ time, which Thomas and his ancestors
lineally descending from father to son enjoyed the same
from the time of K. Stephen untill the death of Thomas

Retell de Newton fil Odard de Wigton, to which Odard
Alan 2nd Lord Paramount of Allerdale gave Newton, and
afterwards granted the seignory thereof to Radulf Engayne
with Ishall. The said Retell gave to Alan of Hensingham
his third son a piece of land where he first built his capital
messuage and named it Al .... (Alanby), now that
township so called to this day . . the inheritance of
William the son of . . . who married another co-heir of
Martindale.
Holm Cultrum. The Holm Cultrum was waste forest
ground replenished with red deer, and a demesn of Aller-
dale at the Conquest. Howbeit it seems by the charters of
the Abbey that it was the soil and inheritance of Henry
Earl of Carlisle son to David Ring of Scots that died
before his father, (for Malcolm the Maiden succeeded his
grandfather David in the Ringdom of Scotland, as eldest
son to the said Henry and next heir to the Ring). In the
time of Stephen, when he usurped the state of Engtetnd,
he gave Cumberland to the Scots to be assured of their
friendship. And this Earl Henry then gave two parts of
Holme Cultrum to the abbot and monks there and granted
6o ALLERDALE
the third part thereof to Alan the son of Waldeof for his
hunting there, which Allan then lord of Allerdale gave
instantly the said third part to the Abbey as that which
the"said Henry FitzDavid had given him at the foundation
thereof. And Waldeof the son of the said Alan consented
to the grant with his father which the said Henry con-
firmed and David and Malcolm aforesaid.
At the death of King Stephen Henry FitzEmpress the
2nd of that name King of England entered upon Cum-
berland, which K. Stephen had before given to David
King of Scots, and therefore the monks acknowledged him
their founder. He granted them by his charter totam
Insulani de H olmcultnim et Raby by their right bounds
timber and pasture in the forest of Englewood, which his
gift K. Rich, and King John his sons and successors in
the kingdom also confirmed with many liberties expressed
in their letters patent without mention of any act done by
the Scots. It was then bounded by that little syke of
water that falls into Wampool at Kirkbride ascending up
into Cockley as the moss and hard ground meet. Thence
it goes into the middle of the moss between Wathholm
and Lawrenceholme and so by the moss and wood to Anter-
potts. Thence down Waver unto Crompbeck, Thence
up Crompbeck till it receive Wythskeld, so up that syke
unto the head thereof, then turning west unto a syke that

And divers other persons gave lands in Cumberland.
Thus in short time they encreased their possessions to a
great revenue yearly which maintained a lord abbott and
monks. They built them a church and the whole scite of
the abbey of free stone which continued till these our times
that K. Hen. 8'*^ took down the habitations and made the
church serve the inhabitants as a parochial church, but
now the same is also utterly defaced for the steeple lately
fell down through age and they burnt the church with fire.
The rectory Q. Mary gave to the University of Oxford. And
the seignory of Holm Cultrum remaineth yet in the king's

WiGTON. Wigton was antient demesn of Allerdale till
Waldew the son of Earl Gospatrick gave that barony unto
Odard de Logis. It containeth Wigton, Waverton, Blen-
cogo, Dundraw and Kirkbride, with their appurtenances,
which live townships are several mannors within them-
selves known by metes and bounds and lye within the
barony of Wigton.
Odardus built Wigton church and endowed the same.
He lived unto K. John's time. K. Hen. i^* confirmed
Waldew's grant of the barony to him, by which it appeareth
probably that he lived above an hundred years. The Earl
Randulph Meschines gave Staunton to him, and K. Hen.
i^t gave him Blackhill and Melmerby. He had issue Adam,
ALLERDALE [wIGTON] . 63
Adam had issue Odard the 2nd whose son and heir Adam
the snd died without issue, therefore the inheritance came
to his brother Walter who had issue Odard the 3rd who
died without issue, and Odard the 4th Hkewise, wherefore
the brother John de Wigton the son of Walter entered
and had issue a sole daughter and heir Margaret, who a.d.
. . . granted the church of Wigton to the abbott and
convent of Holm Cultrum, which they presently did appro-
priate to their house in the year of grace 1334. In K.
Edw. 3''<^^ time Margaret was married to Sir John Denhara *
Knt and was impleaded for her birth right, and her mother
Idionsia Lovetot the wife of Sir John de Wigton was for
a time hindered of her dower. Yet her adversaries did not
prevail. Wigton barony shortly after her death came to
Thomas Lucy the . . of that name Lord of Allerdale
and thereby in right that seigniory of Wigton was extin-
guished and became again part of the antient barony of
Allerdale, though it is yet taken and reputed as a manner
of itself. From the Lord Lucy it thenceforth as other
lands descended to the Lucies and Earls of Northumber-
land as appears in the title of Allerdale, and the rest of
Odard de Wigton's lands to others as appears in other
titles.
KiRKBRlDE. The mannor of Kirkbride contains the
township of . . . and Oulton a hamlet of the same
with their appurts. It was first granted forth from the
barony of Wigton in K. John's time by Adam 2nd Lord of
Wigton to Adam son of Adam his 2nd son a knight, brother
to Odard the 2nd. His posterity took the name of their
mansion house at Kirkbride. The church there founded
before the conquest was dedicated to the honour of a
religious Irish woman of great sanctimoney called Brydock
and corruptly St. Bride, and gave first name to the
township. The said Adam son of Adam was witness to a
deed of gift of his cousin Henry the son of Adam de

BURGH BARONY.
The Barony of Next unto Allerdale upon the south
Burgh. side of the river Wathempool or Wat-
holmpool now Wampol h'es the barony
of Burgh-by-Sands or Burjrh barony. On the west and
north-west it is washed by the sea flowing up to the foot
of the river Eden, and by the said river towards the north
and north-east unto the city of CarHsle : and from Carhsle
to the river Wampool on the south-east it is divided from
Dalston barony by the beaten high street, which leadeth
from Carlisle through Thursby to Wigton.
In this barony were divers mannors holden of Burgh,
and some within the bounder, and yet no part of the
barony (as Orton and Gamelsby) nor holden of the same.
Ranulph Bohun* de Meschines gave this barony of Burgh
to one Robert de Estrivers or Trivers together with the
chief foresters office in the forest of Englewood ; which
office with great and many liberties thereunto belonging all
the Lords of Burgh enjoyed successively untill Thomas de
Multon de Gilsland forfeited the same by treason com-
mitted against the King ... in the insurrection made
by Simon de Montford Earl of Leicester.
Ibria Trevers daughter to Robert de Trevers and wife
of Radulph Engayne Lord of Ishall transferred the barony
of Burgh to the Engaynes.

by the said Ibria. The said Radulph and Ibria and
William their son gave Henrickby alias Herriby besides
Carlisle to the priory of Carlisle which gift Hugh Mor-
vill confirmed.
After W™ Engayne succeeded S'' Hugh Morvill (as son
and heir of Ada sole daughter and heir of the said
William). In the time of Hen. 2°^ this S"^ Hugh Mor-
vill was of great possessions. In Cumberland he was
Lord of Burgh barony Lassonby and Ishall ; in West-
morland of Temple Sowerby, Hoflun, &c., and about
Wharton he had diverse lands. The great mountain
Hugh-Seat-Morvill was called after him. He was one
of the four Knights who killed S* Thomas a Becket Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, after which deed he came to great
misery. He gave therefore the rectory of Burgh to the
abbey of Holm Cultrum, which the Bishops of Carlisle,
Bernard, Hugh, and Walter did appropriate to the monks.
The sword that killed St Thomas was at Ishall in my
father's time, and since remaineth with the house of Arun-
del. He was greatly hated of the churchmen of his time ;
therefore they wrote many things to his dishonour hardly
to be credited, which I omitt. After great repentance he
died and left his two daughters his heirs, Johan wife to
Richard Worun or Gerun, and Ada wife first to Richard
Lucy second to Thomas Multon and third to W™ Lord
Furnival.*
After S' Hugh Morvill succeeded Richard Lucy and
Richard Werun, with the daughters of S*^ Hugh in the in-
heritance of Burgh.
Richard Lucy had by his wife Ada only two daughters,

moiety of Burgh fell to the second Thomas Multon afore-
said brother to Lambert Multon of Egremont.
Richard Werun had by his wife Johan Morvill, Sara (or
Ada) a daughter married to Richard Boyvill Baron of
Kirklevington who had issue Hawise the wife of Eustace
of Baliol, which Hawise died without issue, and thereupon
that moiety of Burgh also descended to Thomas son of
Thomas of Multon aforesaid, or to Thomas de Multon de
Gilsland his son the third of y^ name.*
The second Thomast de Multon married Matilda Vaux
y^ sole daughter and heir of Hubert Vaux Baron of Gils-
land, and by her had issue Thomas de Multon de Gilsland,
and died the 55 Hen. 3'''^. He forfeited the chief forester's
office of the forest of Englewood by an insurrection with
Simon de Montford.
Thomas Multon de Gilsland was Baron of Burgh and
Gilsland, he married Isabel daughter of . . . (which
Isabel was afterwards married to John de Castre K"'), by

Multon de Gilsland and died 23 Ed. i^'.
Thomas de Multon de Gilsland the fourth of that name
had issue a daughter and heir named Margaret married

Dacres first to be Barons of Burgh and of Gilsland. This
Thomas de Multon dyed 8 Ed. 2°*^.

AiKTON. Aikton villa quercuni is a mannor town and
parish in the barony of Buigh-upon-Sands and was the
principal seat of Johan de Morvill the 2nd dau;;hter and
one of the two co-heirs of Sir Hugh Morvill Lord of Burgh.
A little hamlet (now called Downball and ever so named
after the Scots burnt it) was the capital messuage of Aik-
ton where the said Johan Morvill and her husband Sir
Richard Gernon (or Gerun, or Wdun) dwelt, and after
them another Richard Gernon and Helewise his wife, he
the kinsman of the elder Richard and she the daughter
to Johan Morvill, to whom Johan gave six carucats of
land for their maintenance in frank marriage. Johan died
the 31st year of Hen. s"""^, and Helewise her daughter
34 Hen. 3'^'^. By her death the land fell to Ada her sister
and heir late wife to Radulph Boyville de Levington, and
then wife to William Furnival ; the same Ada died 55
Hen. 3'^'^. And after Ada, her daughter and heir Hawisa
the late wife of Eustace Balliol succeeded in the inherit-
ance of Ada and of Radulph Levington the first husband,
which Hawise died 55 Hen. 3'^'^ without issue. Therefore
the lands of Radulf Boyvill of Levington fell to his six
sisters and co-heirs, and Hawise's fourth part viz : the
moiety of her grandmother's moiety of the Morvills
lands in Burgh and Kirkoswald to Thomas de Multon de

Margaret his wife, as the right of Margaret aforesaid ; by
descent as some think from Hawise but it seems otherwise,
for the lands are found to be holden of the Lords of Burgh
afterwards, and not of the King immediately. After Roger
succeeded Edward Colvill his son and heir, 14 Ed. i^'
Lord of Aikton ; his mother Margaret dyed gth Ed. 3'''^, and
then Robert Colvill son and kinsman to Roger was

Afterwards these lands and mannor was sold in the time
of K. Hen. 6* to the Lord Thomas Dacre father of

where the rill called Powbeck falls into Wampool. The
first Lords thereof after the Conquest took their sirname
of the place and were called Parton. The eldest hne of
them by a daughter transferred the inheritance to one
Richard Mansell whose son and heir John Mansell sold the
same to Robert Mulcaster, who gave the same to Robert
de Grinsdale in Hen. 2'^ time. Robert Grinsdale had issue
Gilbert Grinsdale who had issue Allan and Robert ; Allan
by his wife Margery had issue Thomas and Henry who died
without issue of their bodies. Therefore their lands at
Carliell fell to Sir William de Arthuret Knt in right of
Marriotte his wife who was their sister and heir general
after the death of Henry Grinsdale her brother. But Par-
ton fell to Margaret the wife of Gilbert Pepper or Pipperd
in Ed. 3"^'^ time, another heir of the Grinsdales, who dying
without issue for that she was of the half blood her part
fell to Robert de Grinsdale. Marriotte made John Denton
of Cardew her heir. And Margaret gave her part to
Robert Roose her 2nd husband whose nephew and heir
Richard Roose sold the same to John Carliell parson of
Kirkland, his brother's son. Robert the son of Robert
Carliell sold to W"^ Denton the son and heir of John Den-
ton aforesaid the moiety of Parton, whose posterity in the
issue male still enjoyeth the same.*
The manor and town contains the hamlets of Parton

A wood new cut for springing, a fryth and spring we call a

Gamelsby and Biglands. Gamelsby is the next town
to Parton, and stands upon the north side of the river of
Wampool, between it and the fields of Aikton. It con-
taineth the two hamlets of Gamelsby and Biglands, which
Biglands is so called of that kind of grain called beer or
barley which plentifully grows there, which grain Cumber-
land men call bigg and thereupon the hamlet is called
Bigglands.
These two hamlets were antiently a manner the chief
capital house whereof stood at Gamelsby which was so
called of one Game! that first builded there. It was
antiently parcel of Burgh and granted forth to one William
Brewer by the Lords of Burgh, to be holden as part of the

It is called in antient evidences Gamelsby juxfa Aikton,

of the Dentons sold the same of late to the several inhabi-
tants and tenants of that part who now enjoy the same.
BURGH. 75
And the other moiety the Levingtons' part descended
long in the heirs male till by a daughter the same was
transferred to one Alexander Highmore of Harbybrow,
whose heir sold the same to the Lord Dacres. And it is
now in the Queen's hands by the attainder of the heir of
the Dacres.
Wampool. Wathompool or Wampool lyes next unto
Biglands and Gamelsby, and is so called of the river Wam-
pool upon the banks whereof it standeth. The oldest that
I read of that were Lords of the same was one Robert
Brunne the son of Radulf who was called Robert de
Wathompool because he dwelt there. He married Mar-
garet the daughter and heir of Richard the son of Trute
Lord of Newby beneath Carliell. She confirmed Newby
to the abbey of Holm Cultrum, being covert baron, therefore
Hervey de Wampool,* Robert de Dunbraton, William de
Feritate and Radulf his brother, were her pledges for
that assurance. Afterwards Blennerhasset, Dacre, and
Warwick of Warwick were Lords thereof. Richard War-
wick heir of the Warwicks' part lately sold the same to
the inhabitants who are Lords of the freeholds. It is holden
of the barony of Burgh and was antiently a demesne, but
is now divided into four tenements, two whereof are War-
wicks, and Blennerhasset and Dacre have the other two.
Warwicks' moiety descended from Thomas de Whitrigg
Knt ; Blennerhassetts' part from William Arthuret Knt,
heir to Adam de Crofton.
Whitrigg. Whitrigg or the White Ridge is a great
long white rigg upon the banks of Wathinpool, and was so
called of the waste ground there fashioned like a corn rigg.
It was first inhabited by the Brunes, who were antiently a
great family ; Whitrigg was the inheritance of Robert de
Dunbretton so called because he dwelt at Dunbretton, but

his sirname was Brun and his posterity were called Whit-
rigg of this place. Another hamlet belonging to the same
is called Whitrigg-Lees which was the pasture ground and
Lee of Whitrigg when it was demesne.
Lathes. Lathes is a hamlet next unto Wampool, and
was so called of a grange or farm which the Lord of
Whitrigg had there. Of that place the family of the
Lathes took their name, who antiently well nigh the Con-
quest have enjoyed the same in the issue male untill Adam
Leathes now owner of the demesne thereof sold the tene-
ments and residue of the hamlet to the inhabitants. It
was antiently part of the demesn of Whitrigg, and given
by Robert the son of Robert de Dunbretton to his kinsman
Henry,* whose posterity as aforesaid were thereupon called
de le Leaths. We call a barn for corn a Lath, whereupon
the place was so called being a very good soil and antiently
kept in tillage. It is in the parish of Aikton.
Langcrofts. There is also a hamlet called Langcrofts
parcel of Whitrigg so called of the long ridges of land
which lye between the town and Wampool.
Caerdurnok. Towards the sea coast at the foot of
Wampool, stands an old village called Caer-durnok, a
British name which signifies the town of the thorns, of a
wood there then all of thorns which was long after called
the Eyen Thorns, or Old Thorns, and now are all wasted
away. And the place where they did grow stands now a
village yet called Aynthorn.
FiNGLAND. There is another village called Finland,
Fingland and Fennland, which is almost environned with
a moss and fenny ground. All these were the Brun lands
and did belong unto and were parcels of their manors of
Bowness and Drumbugh.
BowNESS. Bowness is a common name to the manner
town and parish there. One of the first barons of Burgh
* Robertus filius Robert! dedit Leathes Henrico fratri suo Hen 3. Gilpin.
BURGH. 77
after the Conquest gave the same to Gamel le Brun, It
containeth, on the north side where the sea floweth up into
the river of Eden, the town of Bowness itself, Glasson
Drumbugh and Easton, where the bounder of the same
crosseth over southward on the east side of Fingland and
Whitrigg unto Wathempol, and taketh in all the aforemen-
tioned towns of Whitrigg, Whitrigg-Lees, Langcrofts,
Fingland, Aynthorn and Caerdurnok, all which make a
great point of land into the sea, thrusting in between the
waters of Wampool and Eden. A goodly manner it was
while entire, but now it is divided into several parts.
Bowness was antiently called Bulgitim Blatum of the
Romans, who, as I think, framed this word Bulgiiim of
a word now in use with us, namely Bulge, which signi-
fieth a breaking in, as the sea, there swelling, breaks in.
But where they took the word Blatum I cannot perceive
unless from that place in Scotland a little from Tordoss
called Blawtwood, which soundeth the sea swelling or
bulging in at Blawt. But this name Bowness as some
have thought was given to the place of this word Noose,
which the Scots and this country people call Neese, which
signifies a point of land into the sea : and so they commonly
call it, and for that the land here makes a crooked point
into the sea they call it Bow-ness. Others have writ it
Bowl-ness as a word made of bowling which is swelling,
and the said word ness a point ; for that often times the
tide coming with the wind the sea breaks in at the point
with great fury.
But however it was called, it was a most antient thing
and a great building as appeareth by the antient founda-
tions and paved streets which are daily found in the
common fields by the inhabitants. It is seated at the
west end of that memorable work the Picts Wall.
Drumbugh. The church is placed at Bowness but
the capital messuage at Drumbogh where the said Gamel
Brun and his posterity dwelt. It is called Drumbugh of
78 BURGH.
that fenny mire or bog, then full of shrubs and haunted
with bitterns which the people call myre drombles, or mire
drumnles, so as that word Drumbogh signifies the bitterns'
fen.
Easton. The next town to it is Easton for that it is
the eastermost town of the manner.
Glasson. The other hamlet named Glasson was so
called by the Irish inhabitants for that it is a green on a
river, Glass in Irish signifying green, and Oon a river.
It gave name to the family of gentlemen called Glassons,
some of whose race builded at Glassonby besides Kirkos-
wold manner, which place was thereupon called Glassonby.
The last of that name W™ de Glasson, who held Glasson
of Robert le Brun de la Feritie Lord of Bowness, forfeited
the same, being outlawed for the death of one Patrick
Taylor ye 6 Ed. i.
Brunskeugh. After the aforesaid Gamel le Brun
diverse of the Bruns were Lords of Bowness successively
as Robert, Radulf, Robert, Richard &c. One of those
Roberts and Radulf his father had a mansion house
without Eden nigh a brush of wood, called therefore Brun-
nesskeugh or Brunneswood where the town of Brunskeugh
now standeth. And for that the same is seated towards the
wild wastes, they were called de Feritate, but their'sirname
was Brun. Their lands were divided amongst three copar-
ceners, the daughters and heirs of Richard Brun the last
Lord of that name. One of them named Helen was
married to the house of Workington. Another to Har-
rington of Harrington. And another to Bowet whose
posterity sold the same to Ellys, who yet enjoyeth the third
part in Bothill, but hath sold his part in Bowness to
Robert Graham of the Fald.
BowsTEAD Hill. The next hamlet to Easton in the
parish of Bowness is Bowstead Hill, so named of a bow
of kine there kept for their dairy by the Lords of Burgh.
Langbergh. And next unto Bowstead Hill is a hamlet
BURGH. 79
called Langbergh, so named of this word bergh which
signifies a rising ground. Both this and Bowstead Hill
were antient demesne of Burgh, and their pasture ground,
and now for better strength of the borders are letten forth
to tenancies.
DiKESFlELD. And so was a hamlet called Dykesfield
(without Langbergh), which gave name to the Dykes, a
family of gentlemen.
Burgh. Next to Langbergh stands Burgh itself, where
the barons of Burgh had a capital messuage, the ruins
whereof are yet seen at the east end of the town.
And between Burgh and the Sands was a mannor house
where one Henry de Sands a gentleman held there of the
barons of Burgh a carucat and an half of land in demesn
of which place he his ancestors and their posterity took
their sirname, and were called in old evidences de Sabuloni-
bus, whose issue male is now Lords of Rottington ; but that
their mannor house and the lands belonging to the same
lye now waste and are the pasture ground now belonging
to the inhabitants of Burgh. But it is yet called the
Sandsfield.
WoRMOLBY. Next unto Burgh towards Carliell is a
little hamlet called Woormolby or Wormondby, so named
of the first inhabitant there.
Beaumont. On a fair hill next unto Wormolby is
Beaumont, a town so named of the fair hill on which it
stands from whence every way lies a goodly prospect which
gave occasion of this name. It was anciently a manor
belonging to the Brunnes Lords of Bowness, who were
patrons of the church there. But of later times the barons
of Burgh have bought it of the co-heirs and granted the
same forth in customary tenancies.
KiRKANDERS. Next unto Beaumont stands the parish
and town of Kirkanders, so named of the church there
dedicated to St. Andrew, which the antient Lords of Burgh,
as I think, did grant together with the service of the
8o BURGH.
manor of Orton unto the barons of Levington and severed
the same from the barony of Burgh ; for though they lye
now within the same yet are they not part thereof. And
upon the next office found by inquisition after the making
of the statute of Magna Charta in Hen. 3'''' time the
barons' lands of Levington wheresoever they did lye were
found to be one barony by the inquisition, as other men's
lands then were that were holden in capite of the king,
as Lesingby distant from Burgh six miles yet is found to be
parcel of Burgh. And Skelton so remote from Kirkleving-
ton yet is found to be parcel of the same barony of Leving-
ton. The Lords of Burgh have now annexed Kirkanders
town again to the barony of Burgh. But Orton is holden
still of Levington but it lies in Burgh.
Grinsdale. Next unto Kirkanders lies Grinsdale, a
parish town and mannor within Burgh barony and holden
of the same. It gives sirname unto a family of gentlemen
called Grinsdalls. The most antient of the name that I
read of was one Udard de Grinsdall, and after him Asketill
the son of Robert de Grinsdall that lived in the time of
Hen. i^*, Stephen, and Hen. 2"'^. The eldest line failed
about King John's time when the inheritance fell to two
daughters whereof one was married to the Lord of Newton
in AUerdale. One Thomas de Newton held by that right
the moiety of Grinsdale of Thomas de Multon Lord of
Burgh, in Hen. 3'''^ time. And the other moiety was then
so holden by one William de la Sore, whose ancestor had
married the other coparcenor. A second bi-other of Aske-
till called Robert was a citizen of Carliell and purchased
lands there and in Parton, which descended according to
the following pedigree untill the coparcenors and their
heirs sold the same to the Dentons of Cardew, in Hen. 4*
time, whose issue male enjoyeth the same at this day.

the right of his wife one of the co-heirs of Martindale.

Orton. Above Grinsdale and Kirkanders more towards
the south stands Orton or Overton, which name is common
to the parish mannor and town being so named in respect
of the situation and higher standing of that place in
reference to Kirkanders and the lower towns towards Eden
and the borders of the country. It is parcel of the barony
of Levington and holden of the same and gave sirname to
a family of gentlemen of mark called Orton. They gave
for arms vert a lion rampant argent crowned and armed
gules. The first of the name I read of was Simon, who had
issue Alan de Orton to whom K. Hen. ^'^^ granted free warren
in Orton. After him succeeded John his son (they were
all Knts), and after him Giles whose daughter and heir
Johan was wife to Sir Clement de Skelton, to whom he
had four daughters and heirs ; one named Agnes married
to the Lighes of Ishall, another named .... married
to Bellasis, another named .... married to Ridley.
The fourth named .... married to Blennerhasset.
They divided the mannor into three parts which Lighe,
Blennerhasset, and Ridley enjoyed and charged the land
with a rent of £8 to Bellasis whose heir sold the same to
one Codall a merchant of Carliell, which Robert Brisko
son of Leonard a younger brother's son of the Briskos of
Crofton, enjoyeth in the right of Eleanor his wife, daughter
of Richard Codall son of John son of John.
And the mannor is now the inheritance of John Brisco
of Crofton an infant, son of William, son of John, which
John the grandfather purchased the Lighs' parts from
Wilfrid Lawson and Maud his wife, (late wife of Thomas
Ligh to whom he gave his lands), and of Thomas Blenner-
hasset of Carlisle another part, and the other third part
Nicholas Ridley sold to the tenants there, whereof one sold
his part to Denton of Cardew, another kept his part, and
the third .... right of patronage of the rectory. The
residue sold their parts to the said William Brisco the
infant's father.
WiGGONBY. Next unto Orton stands Wiggonby, which
was antiently the Ortons' lands, and as I think parcel of
Orton. Yet I have seen offices that have found it a man-
nor of itself. It descended with the Ortons' lands as Orton
did to the co-heirs. Ligh sold his part to George Porter
of Bolton. Blennerhasset yet holds his, and Ridley sold
his part to the inhabitants.
Crofton. Crofton is the next town and mannor to
Thursby in the parish of Thursby, and lies betwixt Thursby
and Parton towards the east and west and between the
rivers of Wampool and the Pow on the south and north.
It is called Croft-town of the word Croft, as the town
standing upon the Crofts. The iirst Lord that I read of
the same was a Knt, Sir Gilbert the son of Gilbert de
Dundraw. He gave a parcel of the same to the hospital
of St. Nicholas of Carlisle, and bounded it out in the place
called Gillmartinridden. He lived in K. John's time. He
bound that land to grind at his mill at Crofton. Next
after him the Lords of Crofton had to their sirname Crofton,
as John de Crofton,* Robert de Crofton, John de Crofton,
* MS. John de Crofton, Robert de Crofton, Thomas de Crofton, John de Crofton,
John de Crofton, Adam de Crofton, Marriott wife of WiUiam de Arthuret and

Clement de Crofton. They had lands in Carliell and
Birkskugh which corruptly is called Bruskowgh and Bris-
kow. One Isold de Briskow married the heir of Crofton
whose posterity in the issue male have hitherto enjoyed the
same. And at this day John Brisco an infant the son of
William son of John son of Robeit, who was slain at
Sollom Moss, is Lord thereof.
They were called de Birkskugh because their first an-
cestors dwelt at Birkskeugh or Birchwood, a place by
Newbiggen in a Lordship belonging to the priory of Carliell
which lands they yet enjoy or part thereof. And when
Gualo Cardinal of St. Martin in K. John's time, and after
him Pandolf in Hen. 3'^'* time as legates from the Pope
made distribution of the lands belonging to the church of
Carliell between the bishop and the prior which till then
were holden per indivisum, the said first named John de
Crofton held the same land in Brisco as a freeholder.*

* It appears by an ancient writing dated (now in the custody of
John Brisko Esq.,) purporting an arbitrement between then prior
of Carliol, and Christopher Brisko then Lord of Crofton, that the sd Chr. Brisko
and his ancestors were Lords of the mannor of Brisko, but that he being taken
prisoner by the Scots and enforced to pay a great sum of money foi his ransom
was necessitated for the raising of the same to mortgage his mannor of Brisko to
prior of Carliol. And afterwards they coming to an account about
the same, the arbitrators whom they chose to adjust their differences ordered that
the prior and his successors should enjoy the whole mannor except the capital
house and best tenement, and that Christopher Brisko and his should have
liberty to cut wood for building and dig for stones, and have such a proportion of
the comon if ever after it happens to be improved : and accordingly the Briskoes
have since enjoyed the sd tenements and messuages (now cantoned into many little
tenements), and the prior and his successors and now (in their right) the Dean

They give to their arms three greyhounds sable currant

agility in leaping, from which word the Saxons took the
word frisk or leap. But their right name is de Birkskeugh.
These words Skeugh, Scawgh, Shaw, I have seen in antient
evidences thus differently written yet always importing the
same viz : a wood ground standing on a hill as this Birk-
skeugh and Whinnow Shaw their own land, so called in
old evidences Middleskewgh and Middleskowgh. Three
pieces of wood land in Dalston called the Skaw, the little
Skaw and Raysons Skaw, named in old writings Skaugh or
Scough.
John Brisko, grandfather to abovesaid infant, added to
his coat for a crest a greyhound sable bearing a hare

John de Crofton gave lands to the priory of Carliell, his
seal was a pelican and her young ones in her nest under

to Eleanor daughter of Giles Fynes, Richard's wife and
the heirs of their bodies which mannors the King had of
Richard Vernon the father's gift. The Frances are named

was so for that the first so named was born in France).
It may therefore be the sirname was Vernon. Afterwards

THE FOREST OF ENGLEWOOD.
The forest of Englewood is in the midland parts of the
county and lieth between the rivers of Shawk and Eden
about 10 miles broad and is extended from Carliell to
Penrith about i6 miles of length. It abutts upon the
baronies of Burgh and Allerdale on the west, on the barony
of Greystock on the south, and upon the river Eden on the
east and north. By which account it comprehends the
barony of Great Dalston which is now reputed as part
thereof, tho' antiently it appears to have been a distinct
barony. Great Dalston lies on the west of the river Cal-
dey and takes up most part of that ground which is
therefore called The Westward viz : of the great forest of
Englewood, tho' of late it has been used as the name of a
distinct forest.
The Barony of Between Burgh barony and the forest
Great Dalston. of Englewood lies ye barony of Great
Dalston, which is divided from the
forest by the river Caldey on the south side, and it reached
from Carliell unto Welton in Sebergham, where it is divi-
ded from Sowerby by the river Caldey and taketh in little
Raughtonfield untill the foot of Rawgh, where Caldey
bounders it again along great Raughtonfield.
The Earl Randolph Meschiens first gave this seignory
to one Robert (that was second brother to Hubert de
Vallibus first Lord of Gilsland) and his heirs whereupon
he was called Robert de Dalston. This Robert and his
issue enjoyed it till K. Stephen gave Cumberland to David
K. of Scots. And presently after Hen. of England the
second of that name banishing the Scots seised that barony

Cardew. The mannor and town of Cardew in the
barony of Dalston were antiently called Kar-thew, i.e., palus
sive mariscus Deorunt and took first name of that great fenny
ground at the head of the river Wampool now called Car-
dew-myre and of the antient inhabitants Kar-thew which
is by interpretation Gods-fenn or Gods-bogg, and so called
by them because it adjoined to Thursby where the Danes
had a house or temple of sacrifice, or a publick place
where those pagans offered up the blood of captives to a
God t whom in that sort they honoured, as Everardus some-
time abbott of Holm Cultrum hath registered to posterity
who lived in the days of K. Hen. 2°'^.
Cardew was antiently a forest ground as all the rest of
the barony of Dalston was before it was inhabited, and
part of the great forest of Englewood and became first in-
habited in William Rufus or Hen. i^' time. The first
inhabitant I read of was William who took sirname of the
place and was called William de Carthew. I read of that
name likewise one Stephen and one Thomas de Karthew.

The last inheritor sold his patrimoney to one Berrington
a chaplain, which Berrington gave the same to the Bishop
of Carliell in trust to the use of John Burdon. John
Burdon had issue a son called also John Burdon, to whom
his father gave land to him and the heirs of his body, and
for default of such issue to John Denton and Joan his
wife and the heirs of their body, whose issue male hneally
descended from father to son enjoy the same at this day in
that right. The said John Denton was Lord also of
Ainstiblighe and of the forest of Garnerie and Kirkpatrick
and Agingrey in Scotland, which he had of the gift of
Edward Baliol King of Scots. His letters patents thereof
were sealed in the Isle of Eastholm. The said John
Denton was the steward of all Annerdale,* under the Lord
Humphrey de Boayl Earl of Hereford and Essex Lord
High Constable of England, to whom the said Edward
Balioll or John BalioU his father gave the whole seignory
of Annerdale which was antiently the Bruces' lands. The
said John Denton deserved so well in those wars between
the BaHolls and the Bruces competitors for the crown of
Scotland that Baliol (then King) preferred him to that forest
late the Bishops of Glascow's lands and to Kirkpatrick
late the lands of Sir James Frissold adhoerents to the
Bruces' faction. And the Earl of Hereford preferred him
to the stewardship of Annerdale, the principal office in
that seignory for that he first entered the same and held it
to the Earl his master's use in despite of the Bruces'
faction. And when Baliol was banished Scotland he kept
still the principal house till it was fired under him, beaten
and undermined till it was ready to fall, whereupon his
heirs give now in remembrance thereof for their crest a
castle or tower sable, flames issuing out at the top thereof
and a demi-lion rampant with a sword in his right paw

Sebergham. Sebergham is so called of the place where
it stands which is a hill or rising ground in the forest of
Englewood, which of the west side was woodland and dry
ground, but the north-east side a wet spungy earth covered
with rushes which the country people called selves, and
thereupon the place was called Seevy-Bergh. Before it
was inhabited it was a forest and a great waste and wilder-
ness at ye Conquest. After in the latter end of Hen. z"'^
time one William Wastall or de la Wastdale, began to
inclose some parts of it. He was an hermit and had lived
there to an extreme age by the labour of his hands and
fruit trees which he planted. He came thither in Hen. i^'
time and died about the end of K. John's time or in the
beginning of K. Hen. 3'^'^. King John granted him the hill
and he left it to the prior of Carliell. The hermit's grant
was afterwards confirmed by certain bounds under the seal
of the King of Scots to whom the King of England had
given divers parts of the county in frankmarriage.
William Wastall had a chapell there where the church
now stands and a little cell, but after his death the prior
let all forth to tenants and farmers and enlarged ye church
and made it parochial and the place a village now called
Villa de Sebergham & Langholm which is a long dale and
low holme by the river of Cawdey now also inhabited
and parcel of the forest, and first enclosed as purpresture by
the foresters the Raughtons, and others since the Conquest
and are now and of long time have been so named and as
one township whereof ye Kirthwaits are parcel.
Carlisle. In the north-west corner of the forest of
Englewood stands the antient city of Carliell, environed
with the rivers Eden on the north-east, Petterell on the
south-east, and Cawdey on the south-west, and inclosed with
strong walls of squared stones, fortified with a castle ram.-
pired in the west end and the citadel in the east. It was
before the Saxons time called Luguvallum or Luguballum
and by some Lugubalia, whereupon the Saxons called it
g6 FOREST OF ENGLEWOOD [CARLISLE].
Luell or Luwall, and the last Brittons there inhabitants and
the Irish of that word Luell named it Carluell or Leyll. It
lay waste for the most part of 200 years before the last
Conquest saving a few cottages among the ruins inhabited
by Irish Scots. After the Danes had wasted the country
with fire and sword William Rufus returning that way from
Alnwick where he had made peace with King ... of
Scotland, seeing the place to be of strength convenient to
entertain his forces at any time against Scotland, com-
manded the same to be reedified and to be so fortified with
walls and with a castle. This was about the latter end of
his reign, but he was prevented by an untimely death
before he could perform all which he intended for the good
of the city. Yet he placed there a colony of Dutchmen
which were shortly thence translated into the Isle of
Anglesey by him or his next successor Henry Beauclerk
his brother, and instead of them a new regiment of southern
men of Essex, Kent, Middlesex and other parts of the
realm were brought to supply their place and to inhabit
the counties of Cumberland and Westmorland, under the
leading of Ranulph de Meschiens sister's son to Hugh
Lupus or Loup first Earl of Chester. When the city was
replenished with people, for to maintain better policy in the
same, and to inform the people, instead of a nunnery which
had been there before (and which William Rufus had
translated thence and established at Ainstaplighe, or rather
in recompence of the lands to that nunnery belonging had
founded another at Ainstaplighe endowing the same with
other revenues there), K. Hen. i^' founded a college of
secular priests in the 2nd year of his reign and made Athel-
wald his confessor or chaplain (prior of St. Botolphs) first
prior of Carliell, dedicating the church to the honour of the
blessed Virgin Mary, and endowing them with the tiths of
the churches then founded in the forest of Englewood.
But being hindred by the tumults and troubles of his time
he could not perfect all things before the 33rd year of his
ENGLEWOOD FOREST [CARLISLE] . 97
reign, and then strucken with grief for the loss of his
children that were drowned coming from Normandy, by
the council of the prior Athelwald and to please God for
his sins (as he thought) he erected a bishop's see at
Carliell, and made the said Athelwald first bishop thereof,
whom the Archbishop of York named Thurstan did con-
secrate in the year 1133. And in his stead another chaplain
of the said King Henry named Walter was made the
second prior of that house who a little before his election
had taken upon him by the king's licence a religious habit
that of a regular canon there, which order of canons the
King and Bishop Athelwald had placed in that house,
banishing the secular priests immediately upon his conse-
cration. The said Walter gave to the church of Carliell
for ever in pure alms his lands in Lynstock, Richardby,
Crosby, Little Crosby, Walby, Brunskewgh,Carleton, Little
Carleton and the wood and the churches and rectories of
St. Cuthbert in Carlisle, and Staynwiggs, (which the King
had given him) and the same gift was confirmed unto them
both by the King and Bishop Athelwald.
The rectory of St. Cuthbert in Carliell was founded by
the former inhabitants of CarHell before the Danes over-
threw the city, and by them dedicated to the honour of St.
Cuthbert of Duresm, who of antient times was Lord of
the same for 15 miles about Carliell. At the first founda-
tion of the church every citizen offered a piece of money,
a coin of brass then current which they buried under the
foundation of the church steeple there, as was found to be
true at the late new reedifying of St. Cuthbert's steeple
An. Dom. ... for when they took up the foundation
of the old steeple they found well near a London bushell
of that money.
After the said priors Athelwald and Walter succeeded
John who gave Watercroft in Flemby to the Lord of
Workington, Thomas son of Gospatrick, and after John
Bartholomew, who in the time of Bishop Hugh confirmed

his worthiness in the time of antient kings. Waldeive
also gave other antient buildings called Lyons Yards often
remembered in that history of Arthur written by a monk
the ruins whereof are yet to be seen, as it is thought, at
Ravenglass distant from Carliell according to that author
50 miles placed near the sea and not without reason
thought therefore to be the same.
After the death of Richard Earl of Chester (who was
drowned with the king's children) Ranulph Meschiens
removed to Chester and was Earl thereof. Presently after
K. Hen. i^' dyed and K. Stephen usurping the state gave
the county of Cumberland to David K. of Scots to procure
his aid against Hen. 2""^ right heir to the late king, as son
to Maud the Empress daughter and sole heir to Hen. i^'.
But ye Scots secretly favoured him for his rights sake and
for that he had made the said Henry FitzEmpress Knt at
Carliell. Yet accepting the gift of the county whereunto
he pretended his own right (before granted to his ancestors
by the Saxon kings), he made his eldest son Henry Fitz-
David Earl of Huntington and Carliell, which Henry
founded the abbey of Holm Cultrum in the time of K.
Stephen, his father David confirming the grant of the
revenues wherewith he endowed that house and so his son
Malcolumb K. of Scotland after David. After Henry Fitz-
David was dead and K. Stephen, K. Henry FitzEmpress
took Carliell and the county from the Scots and granted to
the city the first liberties I hear of that they enjoyed after
the Conquest. But his charter was burned by a casual fire
that happened in the town, which defaced a great part of
the same and all the records of antiquity of that place.
At the repairing the city in William Rufus's time it was
divided into streets as at the present without any great
alteration. In the great street now called Abbey Gate
ENQLEWOOD FOREST [CARLISLE] . lOI
were placed the Irishmen, who dwelt there in cottages
when it was waste, which street was then thereupon called
Vicus Hibernensium, and the port or gate at the end of
that street is called the Irish Gate. In the street now
called were the Frenchmen or Normans
placed and therefore it was then called Vicus Francorum.
The other streets were called Vicus Richardi of the gate
leading to Richardby, Vicus Bochardi of the port and gate
leading to Bochardby, Vicus Castri of the castle standing at
the end thereof. In these three last and other most com-
mendable places of the city leading to and nigh the market
place and churches dwelt the chief and best citizens, natural
Englishmen. In the surburbs of the city beyond Caldew
towards Caldcotes* or Caldew cottages and towards Dais-
ton in Shadwinggate dwelt the remnants of the Flemings,
whereupon that street was called Vicus Flandrensis. In
the lowest place of the city were placed the fish shambles
Vicus piscatorum, in the head whereof then stood the flesh
shambles or butcher's row, Vicus Carnificum. In the
middle the market place. On the south side the priory.

to Eme wife of John Scaleby, the other daughter and heir
of the said Robert Parving, sold the same to William
Stapleton and Marriotte his wife of whom the Lord Dacre
purchased it.
Aglionby. The mannor of Agillunby (corruptly called
Aglionby), was first so called of one Agillun that came
into England with the Conqueror, and into Cumberland
under Radulph Meschiens. He gave name to the place of
his dwelling house, calling his chief seat or capital dwelling
Agillunby, Agillun's building. His alliance to the house of
Warwick or attendance under them (or under the abbott
of York and prior of Wetheral), preferred him to that
place of his dwelling and first seat which successively they
have holden from the Conquest, and their heirs males do
so at this day without any great difference or alteration of
their first estate by rising or fall. In success of time they
withdrew themselves into Carliell and let their mannor
into tenancies, which is now become a township and is
holden of Warthwick. Their first ancestor was called
Walter Agillun, he had issue Everard, Lawrence and
Werry. Werry had issue Elias and he Allan father of
William who had issue Adam. John his son had issue
another Adam from whom the inheritance descended unto
Thomas and to his posterity successively viz : William,
Thomas, John, Thomas, Edward, John, Edward and
Edward now an infant.

same to his second son William son of Odard (and to Osbert
his heir Chorkby), Osbert the elder brother died without
issue, therefore William became Lord of all. He had
issue John and Robert and diverse other children whom
he preferred, John his eldest son held Warthwick and let
his brother Robert have Chorkby. He is named in old

at the instance of Stephen first abbot of St. Mary's at
York, in the first year of William Rufus a.d. 1086 by the
Earl Randulph Meschiens who gave his manner of Weder-
hall to the said Stephen with other lands thereunto
belonging in pure alms to the abbey of York. Stephen
dedicated the same to God and St. Mary and to St. Con-
stantine and gave all such things as the said abbey held
in Westmorland and Cumberland to the said cell or priory
of Wederhall, as the fishing in Eden and the mill there,

CoMBQUiNTiN. The mannor of Combquintin was at
the Conquest the lands of Hildred a K°', to whom the
Earl Randolph gave the same and William Rufus and
Henry Beauclerk. A great signory and also large posses-
sion on the east side of the river Eden. He dwelt at
Carliell and was afterwards called Hildredus de Carliell,*
he left that sirname to the antient family of Carliells who
were Knights successively untill Ed. i^' time, when their
chief seated himself in Scotland, at Kinmoont, when Ed.
i^' invaded Scotland. At which time he sold most of his
lands here in England. His name was Wm. Carliell ; of
him the barons Carliell in Scotland are lineally descended,
whose heir male of the eldest issue ended of late in my

yet a great number of that sirname both in England and

Hildred had issue a son named Odard who died in his
father's lifetime, therefore Combquintin descended to his
hephews and grandchildren Richard Carliell and Robert,
between whom their grandfather divided his lands. And
this mannor to make the partition equal was divided into
two moieties, which till this present time is not yet united,
for the Skeltons enjoy one part, the Agillunbies another.
And the Dean and Chapter of Carliell a piece, which part,

Raughton and Gaitskaill. Raghe is the name of a
river which taking his rise at . . . runneth headlong
by Thistlethwait, Stockhillwath and Gaitskale, where it is
received into Cawdey. The Raghe is a word which signi-
fieth running. The village Raughton now standing on the
hill side there (whose fields adjoyning make the east banks of
Raghe at the foot of the river) doth take name thereof. And
the hamlet Gaitskail was at first but a whinny place where
the inhabitants of Raughton made skales and shields for
their goats, which pastured on the blossoms of whins there,
though now it is inhabited and converted into tillage mea-
dow and pasture. About the Conquest it was forest and
waste ground untill a great purpresture was there inclosed
by one Ughtred son of ... . and entered to the K.
(William Rufus) to be holden in fee farm and by sergeantry
for keeping the aieries of hawks which bred in the forest of
Englewood for the King. And then the Raughtons gave
the sparrow hawk for their cognizance. And these arms
were born by the Raghtons viz : by John Raghton and
"William his brother in Ed. 3'^'^ time. Their first ancestor
Ughtred aforesaid had issue Roger, Richard and William,
whose issue successively were called to their sirnames of
Raghton of the place where they dwelt. Roger gave part
of his lands to his brethren there, and every one of them
increased his possessions within the forest of Englewood
ENGLEWOOD FOREST. lOg
by renting purprestures to the King at Sebergham, Raugh-
ton, Gaitskail, Brekenthwait, and elsewhere. One of
their posterity gave Little Raughton Field to the Bishop
of Carliell. The last of Roger's name gave the mannor
of Raughton to Margaret Stapleton his wife and her heirs,
for want of issue between them. Thereupon Wiljiam
Stapleton of Edenhall became heir to her part of Raugh-
ton, and by the heir general of the Stapletons it fell to the
Musgraves who enjoyed the same till Humphrey Musgrave
sold it to the tenants in fee.
Skelton. Skaletown (villa ad Scalingas), now called
corruptly Skelton, is a village in the forest of Englewood
in that place where of antient time the country people that
had their swine, sheep, and milch beasts adgisted in the
forest, had certain shields and little cottages to rest in,
whilst they gathered together the summer profit of such
goods. And about the time of K. Hen. i^' the Boyvills
then Lords of Levington first planted a habitation there
for themselves and afterwards set some tenants there. In
their possession it continued in the heirs male untill the
death of Radulf de Levington. And his daughter and
heir Hewise wife of Sir Eustace Baliol Knt dying without
issue of her body, the Boyvills' lands in Levington, Kirk-
anders and Skelton, were divided amongst the six sisters
of Radulf Levington, aunts and next heirs to the said
Hawise for the seignory thereof. Howbeit their father
Richard de Levington and his ancestors had given forth
before that descent divers parts of the same to them and
others in frank marriage to whom it descended.
The purparty of Euphemia wife of . . . Kirkbride
continued in her blood six descents and then Walter Kirk-
bride sold it to Robert Parving. Sir Adam Parving, sister's
son to Robert, sold it to John Denton of Cardew and his
posterity enjoyed it four descents untill they sold it to the
Southaiks, who held it three or four descents and now John
Southaik hath sold it to the land tenants and customary
possessors.
1 10 ENGLEWOOD FOREST.
The second part fell to Margary the wife of Robert de
Hampton, whose nephew and grandchild William Loc-
hard son of Simon Lochard, sold the same to John Seaton
whose son and heir forfeited his right to King Edw. i=*
and the said King gave it to Robert Clifford, in whose
blood it continued till George now Earl of Cumberland
sold it to the inhabitants.
The third portion was allotted to Isabel the wife of Patrick
Southaik, son of Gilbert son of Gospatrick of Workington
from which Patrick it descended to John Southaik who
sold it to the customary tenants there.
The fourth part one Walter Corry held in the right of
Eva his wife, but their son and heir taking part with
Robert Bruce and the Scots against the King of England
forfeited his estate, which the King granted to one William
Marmion.
The fifth co-heir Julian the wife of Patrick Triumpe had
issue another Patrick Triumpe who sold that part to
Robert Tillioll Knt.
The sixth portion fell to Agnes the wife of Walter Twin-
ham Knt, who had issue Adam father to Walter the
younger, and he sold it to Walter Kirkbride.
Newton Reigny. Newton Reigny is a mannor and
village in the forest of Englewood. It is called Regny of
William de Reigny sometime owner of the same. In the
33rd year of K. Hen. 2""^ William de Regny was impleaded
in a writ of right by one William de Lascells for a K"'^
fee of land in Newton Reigny, sed non prcsvaluit for John
Reigny succeeded after William his father 4 King John,
and William his son after him who died 4 Ed. i^*. Then
the inheritance fell to four sisters Elizabeth or Isabel
wife of . . . Horsley a fourth part, Nicholas de Walton
a fourth part, Robert Kirkby and John a fourth part, and
Hugh Littlecomb and Johan his wife and Robert Bruce
and Alice his wife the other fourth. But all their estates
were in Robert Burnell Bp. of Bath for in the i8th Ed. i^'

he gave the manner by fine unto Hugh de Lowther who

THE BARONYS OF ADAM FIL. SWENI,
AND HENRY FIL. SWENI.
Beyond the river Eden on the east side thereof lyes a
great tract of land which (together with Edenhall on the
west side of the said river) were given to Adam the son
of Sweine a potent man in those days, and to Henry
the son of Sweine his brother, and for sometime kept up
the reputation of distinct baronies, but soon after a great
part thereof reverting to the crown, and the rest by several
mean conveyances being divided amongst several families,
it lost that reputation and is now to be looked upon as
distinct estates which have little or no dependance one
upon another.
CuLGAiTH. Culgaith and other lands in Cumberland
beyond Eden were given or confirmed by K. Hen. i^' to
Adam son of Sweine son of Ailrich, to be holden by cornage
Reddendo de Cornagio £5 12s. 6d. Regi. Adam's two daugh-
ters named Annabell and Matild were married to Alexander
Crenquer and Adam de Montebegon. Annabel was wife
afterwards to William de Nevill by whom she had issue
Thomas de Burgo, or a daughter to him married ; and
Thomas had issue another Thomas de Burgo who gave
to the monks of Brecton or confirmed to them his right
to those lands which William Nevill his grandfather and
Annabell his wife gave to them and which Adam the son
of Sweine gave them before. The said Thomas de Burgo
the younger gave to Simon son of Walter and Sara his
wife diverse of the lands by fine in the 7* of King John.
In whose time Roger de Montbegon, Simon son of Walter,
and Alexander de Nevill held the lands in Cumberland
that were the inheritance of Adam son of Sweine. The
Il6 BARONY OF ADAM FIL.SWENI.
said Roger de Montbegon was son to Adam Montbegon
and to Matild* his wife aforesaid. They had issue also
Clementia a daughter married to . . . . de Longviller
who as I think was heir to Roger her brother.
In the i6th year of K. Hen. 3'''^ one WilHam son of John
by fine gave the moiety of Culgaith to one Gilbert or
Galfrid de Nevill and to Mabell the wife of G . ...
In the sixth year of the next King Ed. i'^* Michael de
Hartcla father to Andrew de Harcla the Earl of Carliell
held the moiety of Culgaith, and Walter Mulcaster and
Gilbert son of Robert Hawkesley the other half. Andrew
Harcla's part was forfeited by treason in Ed. 2°*^ time.
The residue became the lands of Sir Christopher Morisby.
In the 28th Ed. 3'''^ he died thereof seised, from whom it
descended to Lady Knevet the heir general to the Picker-
ings and Morisbies who sold the same to Henry Crekinthorp
of Newbiggen Esq., and the lands to four feoffees who
assigned to the tenants.
Blenkerne. Blenkarn was parcel of the barony of
Adam the son of Sweine and William de Nevill's lands at
the first, but afterwards it was granted forth in frank
marriage and became freehold holden of the heirs of Adam
and William Nevill ; and some part in frankalmoign granted
to the priory of Carliell.
In the time of K. John and before, the Thursbies of
Thursby held a moiety, and the Whitbies the other moiety.
In the nth of K. Hen. f^ Evon de Vipont and Sybill
(filia Adce) his wife gave six bovats in Blenkarne to Bernard
Thuresby, and her lands in Ainstable and Waverton ; all
which William Boyvill had in possession in his own right
as heir to the Thursebies in the 6th year of Ed. i^*.
He granted part thereof to the priory of Carliell which the
Dean and Chapter there yet hold. The residue descended
to Edmund Boyvill his second son, who sold it to John
* Matilda was afterwards wife to John Mansoild. Gilpin.
BARONY OF ADAM FIL.SWENI. II7
Hartcla. His brother Andrew Hartcla Earl of Carliell did
forfeit it to the King, who granted it to Wilham Enghsh
father to William brother to Julian the wife of Ralph
Restwold mother to William Restwold father to Richard
Restwold whose heirs sold it to . . . Lough.
Skirwith. Skirwith was parcel of the said barony.
In the time of K. John one Jordan Spiggornell had free-
hold there and others, but the first that I read of that held
the township as mesne Lord thereof was Robert son of
Walter whom I take to be one of the Lancasters, he held
it in Edw. i^' time, and in the latter end of the reign of K.
Hen. 3'''^. Afterwards one John Lancaster de Holgill was
owner and died seised thereof in the 8th of Edw. 3'''^^ reign
and held the same of Thomas de Burgh, then one of the
heirs of the great barony or seignory of Adam son of
Sweine aforesaid. From John Lancaster it descended to
his cousin and heir Richard son of Richard Place, whose
heir gave it by fine to one William Lancaster, whose heir
general married to John Crakinthorp father to William
Crakinthorp father to John, whose three daughters and
heirs were married to Hutton of the Forest, Sandford of
Askham, and Middleton. Afterwards the Middletons were
Lords thereof. And now Hutton son of Thomas of Hutton
in the Forest and of . . . Middleton his wife daughter
and one of the co-heirs of ... . Middleton enjoyeth
the same in his mother's right, that is a part : and the rest
by purchase of the coparceners.
MelMorby. Melmorby Habitatio ad planitiem magnani
is the name of the town parish and capital messuage there,
now the dwelling house and seat of ... . Threlkeld
Esq. It lies between Gamelsby and Ulnesby and was
parcel of the barony of Adam son of Sweine. In the
reign of Hen. 3'''^ Odard then Lord of Wigton dyed seised
thereof, after whose death his son Walter de Wigton, John
son of Walter, and Margaret sole daughter and heir of the
said John and Dyonisia Lovetot his wife, were successively
Il8 BARONY OF ADAM FIL.SWENI.
Lords thereof. Margaret was married to two husbands,
John Denom, K"', and John Weston, K"t, by whom she
had no issue. She gave Melmorby to Sir Robert Parving,
K"', the Kings Sergeant-at-law and Blechill also. After
Sir Robert his sister's son Adam son of John Peacock,
who named himself Adam Parving; he died 4 Ric. 2°*^ and
then Henry de Threlkeld entered to Melmorby in which
family of the Threlkelds it hath ever since continued in the
issue male.
AiNSTABLE. Ainstaplighe is a mannor and township
on the south side of Gilsland divided from that barony by
Northskeugh Beck and reacheth from the river Eden on
the west up eastward into the mountains and bordereth
upon Staffold Lordship toward the south. It containeth
Ainstaplighe, Rucroft, and the Nunnery, which Nunnery
was founded by William Rufus.
This seignoi"y and other lands in Cumberland K. Henry
i^* gave to Adam the son of Sweine aforesaid, from whom
it descended in K. Hen. 2""^ time to William de Nevill,
whose lands in Cumberland in the reign of K. John were in
the holding of Roger Montebegon, Simond son of Walter,
and Alexander de Nevill. In K. Hen. 3'''^ time Ainstable
Lordship became the inheritance of John Mussey, Henry
Terriby, Michael de Valle son of David, and others about
the year of our Lord God 1239. ■^"'i i" the latter end of
that King's time William Boyvill of Thursby, Knt, was Lord
thereof and held the same of Richard Nevill. When he
dyed it fell to his son John Boyvill, whose brother Edmund
sold Ainstapligh to Andrew Harcla who forfeited it to the
King, who gave it to others and from them to John Den-
ton of Cardew, son to Sir Richard Denton whose posterity
William and John Denton enjoyed it as Lords thereof suc-
cessively from father to son untill Thomas Lord Dacre

extorted it from the said last John Denton in the time of
Hen. 6"" for that the said John Denton was towards the
party of K. Edw. 4*. Which tyranny of the Dacres God
seemed to revenge, for shortly after the said Lord Dacres
and Randal his son were both slain at Towton Field or
drowned in the river at Ferrybriggs in Yorkshire, where
K. Ed. got the victory against Hen. 6* and thereby the
crown of England. Afterwards the Lord Humphrey Dacre
by marrying with Dame Mabel Parr daughter of the King's
favourite recovered the Dacres land and still kept Ainsta-
phgh by his father's pretended right, and so did his posterity
untill all their lands fell to the crown by attainder.
Langanby. Langwathby villa sive habitatio Waldeofi

Waldeof-by where it is also recorded that K. Hen. i^' gave
it to Henry son of Sweine together with Edenhall. How-
beit this town did not long so continue with him nor his
posterity, for the King shortly after held it as Regium
Dominicum. King John had possession of it. Henry ^^'^
gave it to Alexander King of Scots in part of ^£"200 land
granted to the Scots 1237 i^ the 21st year of his reign by
composition for the release of Cumberland and Northum-
berland, and other things in demand. The Kings of Scots
enjoyed it till John Balliol forfeited his lands, thenceforth
they did continue till Ric. 2°"^ time in the crown. He
granted those in Cumberland to Radulph Nevill Earl of
Westmorland and Johan his wife and the heirs of their
bodies, whose grandchild Richard Earl of Warwick did
forfeit them to Ed. 4* who granted them to the Duke of
Gloucester his brother afterwards King by the name of

ebb, is considerably advanced of late, and is Hke to receive a great improvement
yet if it come (as 'tis likely), into the hands of Sr Christopher Musgrave or his heirs.
Their original estate was Musgrave in the County of Westmorland, from which
they took their sirname, and Bewley Castle in that county.
There were severall considerable branches of this family, some whereof (as the
Musgraves of Fairbank and the Musgraves of Crokedaik) are now extinct, but
the family of Haton, another branch sprung from that house is still continued in

Olave (whom the people commonly called Vlf), a Dane or
Norwegian, that after the spoil of the country by the
Danes (before the conquest of England by the Normans)
seated himself there under the edge of the east mountains.
He was one of the three sons of Haldan, the other two
were Thorquell and Melmor : Melmor and this Vlf were
placed in this part of the country, and Thorquell at Thor-
quellby near Keswick. The posterity of Vlf were called
Vlfnesbies of this place, as the place itself took name of
his first building there. It seems near the Conquest to
have been parted between two sisters, and shortly after a
moiety thereof betwixt four sisters ; for in the time of Hen.
3'^'^ one Julian Falcard and William Armstrong held the
moieties, and Henry le Sergeant and Patrick de Vlnesby
held eight parts, and the rest by alienations broken in
small parcels, whereof some were given to Lanercost,
some to the prior of St. John of Jerusalem, and others in
frank marriage and many small purchases. But William
Armstrong's part descended four descents and then was
given to Clement Crofton and Johan his wife by Adam
Armstrong who gave a third part thereof to Roger Sal-
keld and John lieauchamp. And Thomas Worship gave
to John Raghton and he to Roger Salkeld an eighth part.
Salkeld's part descended by Alice and Margaret his daugh-
ters and heirs to their husband's children, John Cracken-
thorp and Thomas Plumland. And John Crofton the son
of Clement gave the other two third parts to William
Threlkeld and Katherine his wife.
Glassonby and Gamelsby. Glassonby beyond Eden
was first named Glass-oon by the Irish inhabitants, viz. :
the green towards or near the river being then a pasture
ground and not inhabited ; and afterwards it was called by
the Saxons Glassonby i.e., Hahitatio sive villa ad Glasson,
as the other village is named Gamelsby i.e., habitatio
Gamelli, the first founder of any building there. And
Gamelsby was a town before the Irish possessed the place.

Both were one seignory bounded in then at the north by
the rill or httle beck called ... * that falleth from
the east mountains by and so descendeth
westward through Kirkoswald park into Eden which doth
bound it on the west, from whence the Lordship is extended
of a great breadth into the mountains untill it bound with
Aldred's town-moor a great waste on the east.
Gamelsby and Glassonby were given by K. Hen. i"'
William the Conqueror's son) unto one Hildred and his
heirs to be holden of the crown by cornage in capite red-
dendo per annum 2s de Cornagio, from whom it descended
to a daughter named Christian being ward to King John
who gave the wardship to William de Ireby. She was the
daughter of Odard son of Odard son of Odelyne son to
the said Hildred. William de Ireby had by Christian his
wife two daughters and heirs Christian and Eva. Eva had
a rent-charge out of the land and was married to Robert
D'evill and after to Adam de Chartres. She released to
her sister Christian the wife of Thomas Lassells of Bolton,
who had issue Aruinna Lassells married to John Seaton
whose son Christopher Seaton forfeited the same and
other lands to K. Ed. i^' by taking part with Robert
Bruce and the Scots.
The King thereupon gave his lands in Gamelsby and
Unthank to William Latimer father to William who had
issue William Latimer father to Elizabeth the wife of
John Nevill, father to Ralf Earl of Westmorland, who
gave his lands in Cumberland and diverse others to
George his son Lord Latimer from which George they
descended as their limitation directed to the Lords Lati-
mers named in the ensuing catalogue untill the last Lord
Latimer dyed. And then the four co-heirs his daughters
entered. The heir male is Edmund now Lord Latimer.

sacra is the name of the town and parish there and of very
antient time it hath been so termed. The castle was
built by the Engaynes Lords of Burgh, Ishall, Herriby and
Kirkoswald. It was first founded by Radulf Engayne,
but far short of that beauty and state which it had after-
wards by his successors. Sir Hugh Morvill in K. John's
time inclosed the park in the second year of that reign by
the King's license. And Radulphus de Levington that
married Ada daughter of Johan Morvill daughter and co-
heir of Hugh Morvill, added thereunto a part of Gamelsby
and Glassonby. Thomas son of Thomas de Molton and
John de Castre that married the widow of Thomas Multon
of Gilsland in Ed. 2""^^ time made additions to the castle.
But the Lord Thomas Dacre that married the heir of
Greystock did finish it and mote it about with great
charge which notwithstanding in the third descent after
him is now in a manner altogether ruinous.
It was first parcel of the seignory of Adam son of Sweine
son of Ailrich, and granted forth with a daughter to Trives
Lord of Burgh chief forester in fee of Englewood Forest,
by whose daughter Ibria wife to Radulf Engayne it came
usually write themselves Featherston-haugh. This estate belonged to Leonard
Dacre in Q. Ellz. time, and upon his rebellion and forfeiture came to the Crown.
K. James Ano. R. sui S>'o granted it to John Eldred and Wm. Whitmore of Lon-

The Seignory is now (Ano. 1687) in Thomas Lennard Earl of Sussex Lord

Part of the demesnes of Kirkoswald are now (1749) the inheritance of the
Featherstones, who are a branch of the Featherstones of Featherstonhaugh, com.

to him. This Lordship did contain Kirkoswald, New
Staffoll or Staffle, Ravenwick, Harskeugh, Huddleskeugh,
Little Croglin, and Kabergh alias Langbergh, and all the
lands and waste towards the east mountains from the river
Eden on the west and between Croglin water on the north
and the little rill Dale Raghon beck on the south that di-
vides it from Glassonby and Gamelsby. The heirs of Adam
son of Swene were Yorkshire men therefore not regarded
here and the owners of Kirkoswald commanders. And
after the making of Magna Charta and the rebellion of
Roger Montebegon mesne Lord the terrtenants and inferior
Lords held it of the King in baronia immediately.
Newstaffol or Staffle lyes between Kirkoswald and Ain-
staple, from the river Eden to the mountains. It is a fee
of Kirkoswald and gave name to a family so called. The
issue male whereof ended about the time of King . .
and then the inheritance fell to daughters who did transfer
it by their marriages to the Chambers, Mulcasters, and
Blennerhassetts of Carliell.
Croglin parva stands in the same parish and township
and is a fee of Kirkoswald. It was antiently the Beau-
champs, untill K. Hen. 7"^ time, and then the Dacres
Lords paramount purchased it to their seignory. Antiently
toward the time of K. Hen. i=* one Vghtred held a part
thereof, and Dame Ibria de Trivers another. And after-
wards one Elias de Croglin, William his son and William
son of William his nephew who gave some part of the
same to the house of Wederhall, which Roger Beauchamp
confirmed, that is the fifth part of the town now (as I
think) called Cringle Dyke.
Harskeugh. Harskeugh superior silva is a village or
stead near Ravenwike, now the lands of Henry son of
Christopher son of Sir Thomas Dacre Knt, who holds it
by purchase from K. Hen. 8"^ and was belonging to the
priory of Lanercost. The priors predecessor had it of the

belonged to Kirkoswald as part of that seignory. The
Channons used it for cattle and the mountains for sheep
pasture. And thereupon I should think that stoney hill to
be called Careg-monach in old evidences and now corruptly
Cattermanak, but that the word Carrock is British or Irish
and therefore some deal more antient. By some others
religious therefore having right there it hath been so named
before the conquest.
HuDLESKEUGH. Huddleskeugh Capreolarum Silva was
in times past a woody place on the common pasture of
Kirkoswald where the township of Kirkoswald and the
Lords thereof wintered their herds of young goats, but
now the wood is gone and the place is become a little
village demised to tenants. In King John's time one
Robert de Hudleskeugh held it of the Morvills Lords of
Kirkoswald, and then one Radulf de toff
in Westmorland gave a part thereof to the house of
Wetherall for Sir Hugh Morvill's soul (that killed Thomas
a Beckett Archbishop of Canterbury), his landloi^d some-
time of the same or the feoffor that gave it to his ancestor.
And the prior presently granted it to Robert de Salkeld by
consent of Robert then abbot of York, and to any of
Robert Salkeld's sons in heritage whom he would make
choice of. I take the same Robert Salkeld to be called
Robert de Hudleskeugh, because he then did dwell there.

THE BARONY OF GILSLAND.
The Barony of The ^reat barony of Gilsland lyeth on
GiLSLAND. the east side of the river Eden all along
the river side from the border of Lin-
stok and Crosby barony unto Northskeugh beck, a rill that
divides Ainstaplygh from the same. Above that beck to-
wards the mountains the border of Gilsland compasseth in
Croglin up eastward into the fells, where the bounder of the
county divides the barony from Northumberland untill the
head of a rill called Powtross. Then the Powtross untill
it be received of Irthing : and from thence the river Irthing
itself till it receive Troutbeck. And thence Troutbeck
untill the head thereof on the north-east side of the same
on the utmost limits both of the barony and county.
It is called Gilsland of many little narrow valleys in the
same, which the inhabitants call Gills, in latin Valles, in
French Vaulx.
This great barony was given by the Earl Randolph
Meschiens to one Hubertus to be holden of him by two
Knights fees and by cornage.* The same Hubert was
called de Vallibus or Vaulx of the dales and valleys between
hills whereof that country is everywhere full. That
French word Vaulx (pronounced Vaus) became thence a
sirname to the said Hubert and his posterity there, and to
diverse other families that took their beginning from the

younger brothers of this house : as Vaulx of Triermaine,
of Ainstaplygh, of Caterlen, of Caldbeck, &c.
Hubertus was a kinsman or follower of the said Earl
Randolph in the latter end of the Conqueror's time when
the peace of the county began to be established, and
served under the Earl's brother William Meschiens there
in Gilsland.
King Henry i^' confirmed this barony unto the said
Hubert to be holden of the King in capite, when the Earl
Randolf resigned the county of Cumberland to the King
and obtained the Earldom of Chester after the death of
Richard the second Earl of Chester who with the said
King's children coming out of Normandy was drowned in
the sea on the coast of England, to which Richard the
said Randolf was next heir and cousin german, the son
of John Bohun by his wife Margaret the sister of Hugh
Lupus first Earl of Chester.
The said Hubert did bear to his arms checqer d'or et
gules. His seal was a griphon eating a lacert.*
After he was possessed of the barony peaceabl}- he gave
diverse parts thereof by the name of mannors and other
lands some lo the antient inhabitants and other to his
friends and kinsmen : and such as he so preferred he bound
them by alliance and marriage to his house and by all
other good means he could devise.
He gave Denton in Gilsland to one Wescop, by his deed
of feoffment in these words: Omnibus Cumbrensibus Franci-
genis Alienigenis, Danis, Normannis, Hubertus de Vallibus
Salutem &c., which makes probably to prove his antiquity
and what people did then or late before inhabit that
country.
Hubert de Vallibus had two brethren Robert de Dalston
and Reginald de Soureby ; to this Reginald he gave Carlat-
* A lizard. Editor.
GILSLAND. 129
ton in Gilsland and Hubertby beside Carliell, which gift
Randolph Meschiens confirmed.
He gave also Farlam to one Westfalan, and Chorkby to
to one Odard, and divers other manners and lands in Gils-
land partly to his followers and partly to the antient
inhabitants to lye them more firmly to his house. Yet his
new reconciled enemies continued but a short time his
friends, for in King Stephen's time when the Scots under
their King David and Earl Henry FitzDavid possessed the
county of Cumberland, they stood with the antient heir
one Gillesbueth or Gill son of Bueth, against Hubert's
title to Gilsland.
I read of one Beweth a Cumberland man, about the
time of the conquest. He builded Bewcastle and was
Lord of Buecastle Dale. His son Gillesbeweth had a pre-
tended right to all or part of the barony of Gilsland, at
least to that part of the same which adjoineth to Bew-
castle. He was kinsman to the antient Lords of Burgh
barony which were before the conquest either by consan-
quinity or affinity. This Gillesbeweth and Bueth his father
it is said stood with Hubert de Vallibus and before him
with William Meschiens when he lay there in garrison by
commandment of his brother Earl Randolph, in the Con-
queror's time, the father Beweth being then a follower
of Gospatrick the great. But attempting something after-
wards for the recovery of his antient right of which it seems
he was dispossessed or upon some other discontent he was
banished. And though the register book of the Abbey of
Lanercost reports his son Gillesbeweth (who is there called
Gill fil Beweth) to be Lord of Gilsland, yet he never pos-
sessed a foot in the same, for that he was an infant at the
time of his father's banishment and was afterwards seated
in Scotland where he dwelt till he was slain, as will after be
made appear. His children and posterity in Scotland were
called of his name Gillesbeweth or Lairds Gillesbeweth
corruptly Gillesbies or Lairds of Gillesby, of the place
130 GILSLAND.
where he dwelt which was so called because he first
builded there.
Being thus disinherited and malecontent he wasted the
country and in King Stephen's time when the Scots were
let into Cumberland he took that opportunity to incite as
many as he could to assist him to recover his estate in
Gilsland from Hubert de Vallibus. And it seems notwith-
standing the alliances and other obligations which the
said Hubert had laid upon the inhabitants to bind them
to him they took part with Gillesbeweth as the right heir.
But afterwards when Henry FitzEmpress obtained the
crown of England and took Cumberland again from the
Scots, he regranted the barony of Gilsland to Hubert de
Vallibus in Jicbc verba — Totam terramquam Gillfil Bueth tenuit
et de incvemento Chorkby quant Westubright fil Willmi Stephen
tenuit et Caterleng ctim molendino quce Willitred fil Halden
tenuit. Afterwards about the loth year of Hen. 2^^ Hubert
dyed so that K. Hen. 2"*^ rather confirmed Gilsland to
Hubert de Vaulx than first gave it, for if Hubert then lived
he was of extreme age. Yet the copy of an inquisition
returned by the Sherriff of Cumberland into the Exchequer
saith : Robertus de Vallibus tenet terrani suam de Dno Rege
per servicium duoruni Militum quam Rex Henricus pater Dni
Regis dedit Hugoni de Vallibus antecessori suo per prcedidum
servicium. This inquisition was taken in King John's time.
Upon the grant by K. Hen. 2""^ unto Hubert de Vallbus,
Robert de Vallibus his son a valorous gentleman and well
learned in the law of this land, entered into the barony
of Gilsland and enjoyed the same, but yet not so but
that Gillesbeweth still continueth to give him disturbance,
whereupon a meeting for agreement was appointed between
them under trust and mutual assurance of safety to each
other (which meeting they call a tryste). At this meeting
Robert de Vallibus slew the said Gill which shameful
treason made him bear arms and betake himself to his
book at the Inns of Court, where he so profited that he

came justice itinerant into Cumberland in the 23'''' year of
K. Hen, 2"'^, with Ranulph Glanvill and Robert Piknet his
associates (which Ranulph Granvill succeeded Richard
Lucy in the office of Lord Chief Justice of England, in the
26''' year of that king, when Richard became a monk in the
Abbey of Lenos or Westwood, resigning that office for age
and debility). Robert de Vallibus was of so much account
with Hen. 2"'^, that that King did little in Cumberland with-
out his advice and council, yet could not his conscience be
at quiet untill he made satisfaction for the murder of Gilles-
beweth, by endowing Holy Church with part of that patri-
mony which occasioned the murder, and therefore he
founded the priory of Lanercost in Gilsland.
The king remitted 18'' cornage rent due out of these
lands to this Robert ; yet he was fined for suffering money
to be current in his liberties, which the king had forbid by
proclamation, and for the escape of certain prisoners,
Robert dyed without issue male and Hugh his kinsman
and next heir succeeded him, to whom K, Hen, 2"^ for the
better strengthening of his title confirmed the Barony of
Gilsland, as appears by the old inquisition afterwards
taken in K. John's time, to whom succeeded Ranulph de
Vallibus in the seignory of Gilsland in Rich, i^' time ; and
after Ranulph his son and heir Robert de Vallibus other-
wise called Robert fil Radi. This was the same Robert
Vaulx that was found to be tenant of the land by the
said inquisition taken in King John's time, and remaining
yet of record. He confirmed to the priory of Wederhall
certain lands in Korkby, Denton, Newby and Burdoswald,
as lord paramount.
After this Robert Vaux, Hubert was Baron of Gilsland,
whose daughter and heir Matild or Maud lady of Gilsland
was married to Thomas son of Thomas de Multon and Ada
Morvill daughter of Hugh Morvill, by whom she had
issue the third Thomas Multon, called Thomas de Multon
de Gilsland, who died in the 23'''^ year of King Edward i'^'.
132 GILSLAND.
By this Maud* the Vaux's lands in Cumberland were trans-
ferred to the Multons, who enjoyed the same for four
descents lineally from father to son named all successively
Thomas with some addition.
The first Thomas Multon married Ada Morvill, late
wife to Richard Lucy by whom he had issue Thomas the
second, called Thomas fil Thomse ; and by a former wife he
had issue Lambert Multon and Alan Multon, whom he
married to the two daughters and co-heirs of Richard
Lucy, named Annabill and Alice. Lambert by his wife
Annabil became lord of Egremont, and Alan by his wife
was lord of the moiety of Allerdale, and the twentieth part
of Egremont.
The second Thomas Multon named fil Thomse married
Matild Vaux as aforesaid, and by her had issue Thomas
Multon de Gilsland his heir of Burgh and Gilsland, and
two younger sons Edward, and Hubert to whom he gave
Ishall, which Hubert bore for his arms the same coat
which the Lighs of Ishall his heirs by blood now give,

of these Hastings was with King ... at the seige

lands which the king gave him in England. The Lord
Wharton's coat is the arms of those Hastings, but he

Chorkby. The mannor of Chorkby in Gilsland hath
been from the Conquest of England a gentleman's seat.
It was given by Hubert first baron of Gilsland to one
Odard to whom also the Earl Randulph gave the mannor
of Warthwik on the west side of the river Eden. Odard
had issue Osbert and William. Osbert succeeded in the
inheritance, and granted to the house of Wederhall the
chamber of St. Constantine, and diverse liberties in
Chorkby and lands in Warthwik. Osbert died without
issue, wherefore the mannor fell to his brother William
who had issue John and Robert by his wife Oswina. John
was eldest yet he seated himself at W^arwik and let his
brother Robert possess Chorkby. William son of Odard
had issue another son named Alan who was Lord of Lang-
thwait, his brother Robert gave him lands in Warthwik,
and another son called Ranulf.

Andrew Latton. Thenceforth it hath continued demesne to
the Lords of Gilsland. The said Walter Wyndsore gave for

this sirname left at this day which are descended from one
John de Wyndsore, brother to the second Walter Windsore
(to whom he gave Farlam parva). John had issue Rayner
and Solomon, and Rayner had Bernard the father of
Richard, which Solomon and Richard endowed the houses
of Wederhall and Lanercost with lands in little Farlam.
Brampton. Brampton in Gilsland was for the most
part demesne lands and the town was of long time a
market town, first granted so to be by King .... to
. Lord of Gilsland, and so continueth to this
day. At Brampton the Lords do yearly keep the courts

at a place in Irthington parish called the Castlestead,

Gill fil Bueth dwelt, and which Hubert Vaux had of the
gift of Henry 2"'*. And it was called the mannor of Irth-
oon-towne, contractly Irthington villa ad rivttm Irthing.
The river gave name to the town, mannor, and the castle.
The Lords thereof suffered it to decay as a thing of rude
edification, and of the ruins thereof built Naworth which
in success of time was bettered by the owners and by like
time through negligence more than age begins now to
decline and lose that beauty and strength which it lately
had, as all such worldly things do which are subject to
time.
Denton. Denton villa in profimdo. The place in Gils-
land where Denton stands is a great deep valley. The
Irish call " deep " in their language Dgen. Upon that
Irish word the place was called by the Saxons Dsein and
upon the first habitations there Daein-town. There are two
Dentons there. Over Denton which is in Northumber-
land* now the Withrington's lands and stands beyond the
great Bottom ; and Nether Denton in Cumberland late the
Dakers lands in the Low. Both of them are parcel of the
barony of Gilsland. The first possessor that I read of
was one Wescop, to whom Hubert de Vallibus Lord of
Gilsland gave Denton in or about Hen. 2""^^ time, Wescope
gave it to one Gilles Bueth or Bueth's Barnt (otherwise
that Gillesbueth and Bueth Barn was but one person).
He had issue Robert son of Bueth, who died without issue.

which was the two moieties then by partition. Hayton's
part was given to John son of Robert son of Anketin or
Asketill de Denton, and Robert brother to the said John
married the heir to the other part. The said Robert fil
Bueth was their mother's brother. He gave the church
to the house of Wedderhall, and after his death David son
of Tirry and Robert son of Asketill, gave it to the house
of Lanercost, whereupon grew great suit till the contro-
versy was ended by the mediation of the popes legate who
divided the profits between them and gave the presentation
of the vicarage to the Bishop.
Over Denton 7 Ed. i'" was given by Richard Stowland

a goodly stipend for every person in the priory, and enough
to defray their extraordinary charges. The greatest cause
that moved Robert Vaux to found this priory was the
death of Gill fil Bueth antient Lord of the barony of Gilsland

at a meeting set for agreement between him and Hubert
Vaulx father to Robert to whom the King had given Gill's
patrimony because he took part with the Scots as history

Tryermaine. Tryermaine was at the conquest a fee of
Gilsland. One Gilandus was Lord tiiereof, he stood
against the Conqueror, and his son and heir Gilarnor got
his own peace with Randolf Meschiens, Lord of Cum-
berland and his brother WilUam Meschiens, and quietly
enjoyed it in Hen. i""^ time, and builded the first chapel of
wood by license of Athelwald first Bishop of Carliell : and
by consent of Enoc then parson of Walton Kirk (in whose
parish it was) he made his cousin Gilamor first chaplain
thereof, after which chaplain succeeded one Daniel, and
after him Augustine that lived in the time of Thomas
parson of Walton, which Thomas became a canon in
Lanercost when it was founded, and then the Rectory was
appropriate to Lanercost. After the death or banishment
of Gilamor Lord of Triermaine and Torcrossock, Hubert
Vaulx gave Triermaine and Torcrossock to his second son
Ranulph Vaulx, which Ranulph afterwards became heir to
his elder brother Robert founder of Lanercost, who died
without issue. Ranulf being Lord of all Gilsland gave
Gilamor's lands to his own younger son named Roland,

of the place caused the first name, for there is a great bog
or fenny mire in a bottom or low round hole in the glan or

of was one Alfred de Camok in K. Hen. 2"'^ time. After-

Radulf Levington who by Ada Gernon his wife (daughter to
Richard Gernon the elder, and to Johan Morvill the second
daughter and co-heir of Sir H ugh Morvill) had issue Hawise
the wife of Sir Eustace I^aliol. Hawise died without issue,
therefore Stapleton and other the Levington's lands fell to
her father's six sisters so -became Matild de Carrick her
heir of Stapleton. Roland Carrick her son gave it to

tons held the other moiety which descended to the Mus-

recovered his lands in Normandy, which he lost in the
King's service. Hen. 3'^'' took them from him and gave

Ed. 4"" gave it to his brother Richard Duke of Gloucester
being afterwards King. And since that time it continued

does not appear. But shortly after it was possessed by
one Addock who married with the Lord of Denton, which
Denton the said Hubert de Vallibus had then lately given
to one Wescop his follower or kinsman. But whether the
said Addock was kinsman, friend, or enemy to Beweth's
posterity I find not. It would seem that Gillesbueth being
dispossessed himself and he and his posterity forced to
settle in Scotland, he made the place too hot for any of
Hubert Vaulx's posterity, wasting all that part of the
country in revenge by frequent inroads upon the same,
for being greatly infested by the Scots, as it is to this
day, none durst inhabit there till the barons of Burgh
barony took upon them to summer their cattle there and
made them shields and cabbins for their people, dwelling
themselves in tents and booths for defence, at which time
it was a waste forest ground and fit for the depasturing of
the cattle of the Lords of Burgh and their tenants they
having no other pasture for them, because the barony itself
was very populous and well inhabited, fitting better for
corn and meadow than for pasture. And thereupon it is
always found in antient inquisitions as parcel of that
barony and to be holden of the same. But it is not within
the said barony for the two seignories of Lyddall and
Levington lye between Burgh and it. It became inhabited
originally long before Hen. 3'''^ time upon the building of
that castle which is now there standing. And in Hen. 3'^'^

Scaleby, which took name first of the buildings there
which they call scheales or skales more properly of the latin
word Scalinga a cabbin or cottage. When King Henry i^'
had established Carliell he gave that Lordship unto one
Richard the Ryder, whose sirname was Tylliolf* who
planted habitations there. From him it descended by one
or two degrees unto Simon Tylliolf, in the latter end of K.
Hen. 2"*^ time. His son Piers Tylliof or Peter, was ward to
Geoffrey Lucy by the King's grant about the time of King
John. (This Geoffrey de Lucy did bear the cap of main-
tenance before K. Richard i=' at his coronation). Peter
Tylliolf married the daughter of the said Geoffrey Lucy his
tutor and guardian, and had issue two sons by her, one
named Geoffrey after his wife's fathers name, and another
* The pedigree of the Tilliolf's in the custody of Sir Edward Musgrave makes

without issue male, whereby the
Tilliols' lands again became sub-

in right of the said Phillis.
Margaret second daughter of William
Colvill, was married to Nicholas

The Colvills aforementioned are in some old writing^s called Colvill als. Tilliol
which was upon this occasion. After the death of William Colvill the son of
Isabel one ot the daughters and co-heirs of Peter de Tilliol, Robert the second son
of the said Isabel pretended a title to the estate of his grandfather alledging that
he had made a feoffment to the use of his will, and that afterwards he had made
a will by which he devised that William Colvill his grandson should change his
name to Tilliol, and have the manners of Houghton, Richardby, Ireby, Solprat,
his moiety of Newbigging and his third part of Kirklevington together with the
castle of Scaleby to him and the heirs male of his body, with the remainder to
Robert the second son of his daughter Isabel, in like manner and upon the same
condition that he should change his name to Tilliol. But Robert had not this will
to produce and so was forced to sit without the estate, which was enjoyed accord-
ing to the former pedigrees, nevertheless to keep on foot his pretentions he assumed
the name of Tilliol. There is yet extant an authentic instrument under the seal
of the Comissary General of York dated September 27, 14S1, (which I have in my
custody) which testifies that one William Martindale Knt, ,lid in the court of York
for the discharging of his conscience swear that he saw the will and that it pur-
ported an intail as aforesaid, and that he and others in the favour of Margaret
second daughter of the said Peter de Tilliol had destroyed it. Gilpin.
Since Sir Edward Musgrave sold the estate to the Gilpins it has been enjoyed
as follows :

daughter married John Colvill, and thereb}' transferred
the inheritance to the Colvills.
The TylHolfs held (as their posterity now do), the said
castle and mannor of the crown by cornage all save a
carucat of land which is holden of the barony of Gilsland.
It containeth Scaleby, Houghton, and Etardby.
They were Lords of Solport which they held of Lyddall
and of Richardby in the barony of Linstock near Carliel,
which they hold of the Bishop of Carliel. At this
Richardby, Richard the Ryder their first ancestor seated
himself whereupon it was so called after his name. And
the gate port and street in Carliell leading thither is from
thence called Richardgate or Richardby gate, in old
evidences vicus Richardi. As in like sort the port and
street leading toward Bochardby (where the first inhabi-
tant called Bochardus had a place of dwelling) is called
Botchardgate, both within the port and without. And the
other gate Caldew Gate of the river Cawdey running by the
same. At that time the Scots did tyrannize over the
country next adjoyning them, which enforced the gentle-
men to dwell in Carliell, and therefore every man provided
himself to be served with corn, soyle, and hay, as nigh the
city as they might : as this Richard at Richardby, Bochard
at Bochardby, Hubert the baron of Gilsland at Hubbertby,
Henricus father to Radulf Engayne or grandfather to his
wife Ibria, at Henrikby, Agillon at Agillonby, now corruptly
called Aglionby, Pavia the widow of Robert de Grins-
dale in the territory called Paviefield, Avery son of Robert
in Avery Holme, Albert son of Yervan or Harvey, in
Harvy Holme, now called Denton Holme, and diverse
others.
(156)
THE BARONY OF LYNSTOCK.
The Barony of Between the river Eden and Brunskeugh
Lynstock. Beck lyes the barony of Lynstock and
Crosby, which is now a seignory of the
Bishop of Carhell. King Hen. i^' gave Lynstock and
Carleton to one Walter his chaplain, to be holden of the
Kings of England by cornage silver to be paid yearly.
The said Walter voluntarily of himself and by the King's
licence, took upon him a religious habit of a regular canon
in the priory of St. Mary in Carliell, and by the King's
consent he gave Lynstock and Carleton to that house of
religion in pure alms for ever. Whereupon the King re-
leased and acquitted the rent and services to the canons
there and they made the said Walter their prior. He was
the second prior of that house of St. Mary at Carliell.
After they were possessed of Lynstock barony they made
a grange at Crosby which was therefore called Crosby,
because it was church lands, and sometimes the barony of
Lynstock is called Crosby which is now become a town of
many inhabitants.
At the first foundation of that house of canons by K.
Hen. i^* and of the Bishop's See at Carliell, both their
lands were holden pro indiviso as in common. And after
the first partition thereof made by the Pope's legate Gualo
Cardinal of St. Martin in King John's time, this barony
of Linstock fell to the Bishop and his successors, and
Carlton to the prior and convent and to the Bishops
remained still undivided untill Pandolph another legate in
K. Hen. 2^^^ time by the second distribution assigned them
the Bishops part of Carlton and other things in Cumber-
LYNSTOCK. 157
land for their moiety of the appropriate church of Werk-
wurth in Northumberland.
The aforesaid Walter the prior and Athelwold the first
Bishop of that See were witnesses to the grant of confir-
mation of Holm Cultrum made to the abbot there by
Malcolumb son of Henry the Earl, son of David King of
Scots, which Malcolumb lived in the beginning of the
reign of K. Hen. 2"*^ and was king 12 years.
This barony contained Lynstock, Crosby, Walby,
Richardby, and Newby. Walby was so called of the
Picts Wall whereunto it adjoyneth. And Newby as a later
building, yet now it is an ancient town. For King Henry
!«' gave the same Newby to one Hildred to be holden of
the King by cornage, and one Trute succeeded Hildred,
and Richard son of Trute succeeded his father. In King
John's time one William son of Barnard, held that land as
guardian to Richard the son of Richard the son of Trute
aforesaid. Shortly after the said last Richard son of
Richard confirmed Newby to Reginald de Carliell and his
heirs, to be holden of him by paying los. yearly rent
service to him, and i6s. cornage and foreign service. The
said Reginald de Carliell gave the same to the abbot and
convent of Holm Cultrum, reserving the like rents. And
after the death of Richard son of Richard, his sister
Margaret wife of Robert de Warthampole daughter and
heir of Richard son of Richard son of Trute released her
right to the same Newby unto the monks of Holm Cultrum
saving the said rents reserved. Bishop Walter himself,
Thomas and Robert Cherry his successors acquitted the
abbot and his men there of all services except common
aids and los. rent due to the Lord of the fee.
Carghow. Carghow als. Carighow is a village on the
north-east side of the river Eden between Rowcliff and
Stainton. It was first a mannor and demesne, the inherit-
ance and possession of John de Lacy Constable of Chester,
who held the same of the King immediately by cornage.
158 CARGHOW.
This John Lacy o^ranted the same and Cringledyke (a terri-
tory there to the same belonging) to William de Vescy and
his heirs Lord of Alnwick in Northumberland, and of Malton
in Yorkshire, to be holden of the donor and his heirs for a
mewed hawk yearly for all services. William Vescy gave
it to Ewon Karliell Knt, for lands in Yorkshire reserving to
him and his heirs the same services. And afterwards in the
second year of Edward i^' Robert de Ross Lord of Werk
in Tindal died seised thereof, he held the same of Sapience
the wife of William Carliell the younger, Reddendo a hawk
or a mark of money yearly ; and discharging the said
Sapience of foreign service viz., 23*^ de Cornagio ad Scac-
carium Carliolii. From this Robert Ross it descended by
many descents in the issue male untill the 32nd year of
Ed. 3'"''. And shortly after Elizabeth Ross the heir general
transferred the inheritance to the Parrs of Kendal with
other lands, in which house it descended by many descents
untill William Parr late Marquis of Northampton who
dying without issue the widow Dame Elen exchanged it
with Queen Elizabeth and took other lands for her jointure
so it rests now in the crown and in possession of the in-
habitants as customary tenents.

NOTE TO INDEX.
This Index has no pretension to either completeness or perfection.
These pretensions could only be justified by a practical revision of
the whole ground work of the history of Cumberland. Such a task,
however inviting and even necessary, is one for which the present
compiler has neither the qualifications nor the leisure. An index,
moreover, is probably the form least suitable for the presentation to
the public of the results of such a revision.
In the course of my work I have often been met by difficult
questions as to the identity of persons of the same name appearing
in different parts of the ' Accompt.' It is a necessar}- result of the
modern method of indexing that such names should appear consecu-
tively in the first draft, leaving the question of identification for
subsequent consideration. In every case where there seemed reason-
able doubt I have entered two, or sometimes three, similar names one
after the other (adding dates where any were given), so that each
reader may arrive at a judgment for himself.
The mistakes of the 'Accompt' are, of course, reproduced in the
index. In some cases their character is hinted at by notes of inter-
rogation or other marks of doubtfulness.
It is to be observed however that a note of interrogation between
square brackets is frequently no more than a sign of uncertainty
which of two people of the same name is mentioned at the reference
immediately preceding it.
It maybe as well to add that where a place-name begins with
'Great,' 'Little,' 'Over,' 'Nether,' 'High,' 'Low,' or 'North,'
' South,' ' East,' or ' West,' it will be found entered under the dis-
tinctive name.
The names of counties and of larger territorial divisions are not,
as a rule, indexed ; nor do the names of sovereigns appear in the index
when such names are only used to fix dates.
There is only one entry for each page, though a name may occur
several times in it.
102 NOTE TO INDEX.
The names uf barunies and smaller territorial divisions are given
in large and small capitals respectively. The figures before the
colon and dash (: — ) shew in each case the amount of the book that
is appropriated to the description of the district named. The recur-
rences of the name in the course of that description (which are very
frequent) are not separately noted. The figures after the (: — ) relate
to other parts of the book.
Where a place name and a surname are identical in form, the
place name will usually be found entered before the surname. This
is contrary to the general rule of indexing, but proves the best for
this book.
Surnames between square brackets following the names of
women are their maiden surnames, save in one or two cases where
only the name of a penultimate, or ante-penultimate, husband is given
by Denton or his annotators.
Where the names of a man and a woman are connected by ' and'
they are husband and wife.
